Gestural communication in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) by Felipe Villa-Larenas, Miquel Llorente, Katja Liebal, Federica Amici

“…Repertoire size did not vary with age, but the probability of accounting for recipients’ attentional state was higher for older monkeys than for younger ones, especially for gestures in the visual modality. Using vocalizations right before the gesture increased the probability of gesturing towards attentive recipients and of receiving a response, although age had no effect on the probability of gestures being responded. …”

Auditory risk recognition is socially transmitted across territory borders in wild birds by Jakub Szymkowiak

“…Abstract Prey species commonly assess predation risk based on acoustic signals, such as predator vocalizations or heterospecific alarm calls. The resulting risk-sensitive decision-making affects not only the behavior and life-history of individual prey, but also has far-reaching ecological consequences for population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. …”

Comment dire sans dire? by Chantal Rittaud-Hutinet

“…Elles sont d’une grande richesse et d’une grande variété. La composante vocale donne à l’énonciateur la capacité de faire avancer très rapidement le développement de son thème, et elle lui offre de nombreuses facilités pour des stratégies discursives, comme : gauchir le sens dénoté de ses mots, le renforcer, le contester, l’infirmer, en réduire la portée, ménager sa face et celle de l’allocutaire. …”

Ten years of collaboration between France and Japan - Studies on reproduction in Japanese macaques by Cécile Garcia, Fred Bercovitch, Takeshi Furuichi, Michael A Huffman, Andrew MacInstosh, Lucie Rigaill, Rafaela S C Takeshita, Keiko Shimizu

“…We focused on the cues and signals available to males to make their mating decisions, and we provided information on the potential role of female behavior, female skin color, odours and vocalizations as sexual signals. We suggested, in particular, that females advertized their pregnancy through changes in behavioral, visual, and potentially auditory signals, and that males use these signals to adjust their mating behaviors and avoid wasting energy on non-reproductive copulations. …”

The art of non-verbal communication in perlocutionary giftedness by Adam Świątek

“…The research, based on experiential and comparative methods as well as individual case analysis, aimed at revealing a strong link between verbal perlocutionary giftedness and the accompanying non-verbal aspects of communication, such as kinesics, proxemics, vocalics, or posture, which affect the listener’s decisions, who then complies with the speaker’s will. …”

INTERSTRAIN DIFFERENCES IN EMOTIONAL AND WEIGHT INDICES IN GC RATS WITH CATATONIC RESPONSE AND WISTAR RATS by T. A. Alekhina, R. V. Kozhemjakina

“…The criterion presumes the selection for the long cataleptic freezing character, whereas the nervous rats display elevated motor excitement: running, jumping, and vocalization. The main purpose of our study was to assess phenotypic indices in GC rats (abbreviated from genetic and catatonia) and recognize principal components of variability for emotional and weight indices. …”
