Humpback whale song is a culturally transmitted behavior. Human language, which is also culturally transmitted, has statistically coherent parts whose frequency distribution follows a power law. These...

The Many Parrots group is a team of scientists studying parrot vocal learning and musicality. We invite the public to contribute to research by filling out surveys about their talking and singing parr...

Vocal communication is broadly distributed in a wide range of nonhuman animal species and is hypothesized to play an important role in mate attraction…

Bonding between mothers and their young is fundamental to mammalian reproductive behaviour and individual fitness. In social systems where the risk of confusing filial and non-filial offspring is high, mothers should demonstrate early, strong and ...

Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations. We found a regular rhythm in three multi...

Rhythmic patterns of small integer ratios are common in the world's musical repertoire, while human speech is rarely isochronous. These patterns have been found in non-human species songs but never i...
