Very happy to announce our new @_SMRU_ paper in Science Advances on how dolphins have a modality independent representation of identity and can recognise individuals by taste. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Cross-modal perception of identity by sound and taste in bottlenose dolphins

Dolphins can identify others by taste alone and link those inputs to vocal cues to form multimodal, labeled concepts.

Species information in whistle frequency modulation patterns of common dolphins

Abstract. The most flexible communication systems are those of open-ended vocal learners that can acquire new signals throughout their lifetimes. While aco

Our new paper on vocal learning in seals can be found here: Formant Modification through Vocal Production Learning in Gray Seals cell.com/current-biology/ful… and a press release with videos is on our university website: news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archiv…

Formant Modification through Vocal Production Learning in Gray Seals

Speech information in voiced human sounds is encoded in resonances in the supra-laryngeal tract that emphasize the energy content of selected harmonics. Stansbury and Janik show that gray seals can...

What’s in a voice? Dolphins do not use voice cues for individual recognition

Animal Cognition - Most mammals can accomplish acoustic recognition of other individuals by means of “voice cues,” whereby characteristics of the vocal tract render vocalizations of an...
