Recordings of zebra finch group behaviors with manually annotated vocal segments
<div> <div>This dataset contains recording files and manually annotated vocal segments of freely behaving zebra finches in the BirdPark. The files contain animal-borne accelerometer, microphone and video channels. Birds are housed in groups of different sizes (2, 4, or 8 birds, (one 7-mins file per group). The dataset contains 112 mins of recordings from 4 different experiments.</div> </div> <p>The dataset is published as an appendix of the following paper:</p> <p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.09.23.509166">Rüttimann, L., Wang, Y., Rychen, J., Tomka, T., Hörster, H., Rocha, M.

Domestication phenotype linked to vocal behavior in marmoset monkeys
<p>The domestication syndrome refers to a set of traits that are the incidental by-products of artificial selection for increased tolerance towards humans. One hypothesis is that some species like humans and bonobos "self domesticated", that they have been under selection for that same suite of domesticated phenotypes. However, the evidence for this has been largely circumstantial. Here, we provide evidence that in marmoset monkeys, the size of a domestication phenotype—a white facial fur patch—is linked to their degree of affiliative vocal responses. During development, the amount of parental vocal feedback experienced by influences the rate of growth of this facial white patch and this suggests a mechanistic link between the two phenotypes, possibly neural crest cells. Our study provides evidence for links between vocal behavior and the development of morphological phenotypes associated with domestication in a nonhuman primate.</p>

A small vocal repertoire during the breeding season expresses complex behavioral motivations and individual signature in the Common Coot
<p><b>Backgroun</b><b>d:</b> Although acoustic communication plays an essential role in the social interactions of Rallidae, our knowledge of how Rallidae encode diverse types of information using simple vocalizations is limited. We recorded and examined the vocalizations of a Common Coot (<i>Fulica atra</i>) population during the breeding season to test the hypotheses that 1) different call types can be emitted under different behavioral contexts, and 2) variation in the vocal structure of a single call type may be influenced both by behavioral motivations and individual signature. We measured a total of 61 recordings of 30 adults while noting the behavioral activities in which individuals were engaged. We compared several acoustic parameters of the same call type emitted under different behavioral activities to determine how frequency and temporal parameters changed depending on behavioral motivations and individual differences.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>We found that adult Common Coots had a small vocal repertoire, including 4 types of call, composed of a single syllable that was used during 9 types of behaviors. The 4 calls significantly differed in both frequency and temporal parameters and can be clearly distinguished by discriminant function analysis. Minimum frequency of fundamental frequency (F<sub>0min</sub>) and duration of syllable (T) contributed the most to acoustic divergence between calls. Call <i>a</i> was the most commonly used (in 8 of the 9 behaviors detected), and maximum frequency of fundamental frequency (F<sub>0max</sub>) and interval of syllables (TI) contributed the most to variation in call <i>a</i>. Duration of syllable (T) in a single call <i>a</i> can vary with different behavioral motivations after individual vocal signature being controlled.</p> <p><b>Conclusions:</b> These results demonstrate that several call types of a small repertoire, and a single call with function-related changes in the temporal parameter in Common Coots could potentially indicate various behavioral motivations and individual signature. This study advances our knowledge of how Rallidae use "simple" vocal systems to express diverse motivations and provides new models for future studies on the role of vocalization in avian communication and behavior.</p>
Frequency jumps and subharmonic components in calls of female Odorrana tormota differentially affect the vocal behaviors of male frogs
<p><span>Many studies have demonstrated that sounds containing nonlinear phenomena (NLP) can influence the behavior of receivers. However, the specific functions of different NLP components have received less attention. In most frog species, females produce few or no vocalizations; in contrast, female <em>O</em></span><span><em>dorrana</em> <em>tormota</em></span><span> exhibit a diverse range of calls that are rich in NLP components. Previous field playbacks have shown that female calls can elicit responses from male frogs. Therefore, we conducted a phonotaxis experiment to investigate the differential effects of different NLP calls by female <em>O. tormota</em> on the vocal behavior of male frogs. The results of our study revealed that calls with subharmonics elicited a greater number of short calls and answering calls from male frogs than calls with frequency jumps. Conversely, calls with frequency jumps triggered more staccato calls from males than calls with subharmonics. Additionally, during the phonotaxis experiments, we recorded the initial vocalizations of males in response to playbacks of female calls. The majority of males first produced short calls. Under calls with frequency jumps, most of the male frogs approaching within 10 cm of the loudspeaker produced staccato calls instead of "meow" calls or short calls. While under calls with subharmonics, most male frogs preferred to produce short calls. Our findings demonstrate that frequency jumps and subharmonic components in the calls of female <em>O. tormota</em> have different effects on male vocal behaviors.</span></p>
