Abstract: Individual vocal recognition plays an important role in the social lives of many vocally active species. In group-living songbirds the most common vocalizations during communal interactions are low-intensity, soft, unlearned calls. Being able to tell individuals apart solely from a short call would allow a sender to choose a specific group member to address, resulting in the possibility to form complex communication networks. However, little research has yet been carried out to discover whether soft calls cont… Show more

“…The zebra finch is a highly vocal social songbird that relies on a set of 11 call types to communicate different behavioral states, intents or needs 31 , 32 . Because the coding of identity has been shown independently for some of these call types (Begging calls 33 , 34 ; Distance calls 1 , 32 , 35 41 ; Song 42 45 and soft calls 46 , 47 but see ref. 48 for Long Tonal calls), it is a good model to investigate mechanisms of identity coding through a whole repertoire.…”

“…In contrast, PCAs can be conducted based on a suite of acoustic features (e.g. 19 , 28 , 29 ). However, this type of dimensionality reduction produces scalar components that are not easily related back to specific acoustic characteristics of a signal or to perceptual abilities.…”

“…As stated earlier, here we only tried to identify evidence of whether acoustic fine structure could distinguish between relatively general biological categories. There is a significant amount of behavioral and neurobiological research that has demonstrated that zebra finches are able to discriminate the calls of males and females 18 , 22 , 29 , 42 . Additionally, zebra finches have 10 call types in their call repertoire, and there is strong physiological evidence that perceptual categories exist for many of those call types 22 .…”

“…On-board recorded vocalizations can be used to study different aspects of sociality in the animal's natural habitat. Some examples include the species' vocal repertoire, courtship patterns, group communication or aggressive behaviour (Anisimov et al, 2014;Choi et al, 2017;D'Amelio et al, 2017;Gill et al, 2015). On-board microphones can also replace external microphones in studies focusing on vocal learning and vocal ontogeny, allowing researchers to address these questions in the wild.…”
