Nonlinear acoustic phenomena affect the perception of pain in human baby cries Open
What makes the painful cries of human babies so difficult to ignore? Vocal traits known as 'nonlinear phenomena’ are prime candidates. These acoustic irregularities are common in babies’ cries and are typically associated with high levels …

Nonlinear phenomena in vertebrate vocalizations: mechanisms and communicative functions Open
Nonlinear phenomena (NLP) are acoustic irregularities that are widespread in animal and human vocal repertoires, as well as in music. These phenomena have recently attracted considerable interest but, surprisingly, have never been the subj…

Puppy whines mediate maternal behavior in domestic dogs Open
In mammals, offspring vocalizations typically encode information about identity and body condition, allowing parents to limit alloparenting and adjust care. But how do these vocalizations mediate parental behavior in species faced with the…

Does chaos make mammalian calls sound more alarming to human listeners? Open
Mammalian vocalisations are extremely diverse, and evolutionary approaches to understanding this diversity assume that much of their acoustic form maps onto their function, with specific features serving universal roles. Here, we hypothesi…

Multilevel communication of static and dynamic cues in the calls of domestic dog puppies (Canis familiaris) Open
In vertebrates, in order to provide optimal care to their young, parents use their vocal signals to assess kin, individuality or dynamic need. Despite the fact that many highly accessible species of domesticated mammals, that produce large…

Nonlinear vocal phenomena affect human perceptions of distress, size and dominance in puppy whines Open
While nonlinear phenomena (NLP) are widely reported in animal vocalizations, often causing perceptual harshness and roughness, their communicative function remains debated. Several hypotheses have been put forward: attention-grabbing, comm…

Harsh is large: nonlinear vocal phenomena lower voice pitch and exaggerate body size Open
A lion's roar, a dog's bark, an angry yell in a pub brawl: what do these vocalizations have in common? They all sound harsh due to nonlinear vocal phenomena (NLP)—deviations from regular voice production, hypothesized to lower perceived vo…
