Improving the workflow to crack Small, Unbalanced, Noisy, but Genuine (SUNG) datasets in bioacoustics: The case of bonobo calls Open
Despite the accumulation of data and studies, deciphering animal vocal communication remains challenging. In most cases, researchers must deal with the sparse recordings composing Small, Unbalanced, Noisy, but Genuine (SUNG) datasets. SUNG…

Improving the workflow to crack Small, Unbalanced, Noisy, but Genuine (SUNG) datasets in bioacoustics: the case of bonobo calls Open
Despite the accumulation of data and studies, deciphering animal vocal communication remains highly challenging. While progress has been made with some species for which we now understand the information exchanged through vocal signals, re…

Les bonobos se rappellent-ils la voix de leurs anciens partenaires ? Open
In the present paper, we present our finding about the long-term vocal recognition of past social partners in bonobos Pan paniscus. These results have been published in 2016 in the journal Scientific Reports, 6:22046 | https://doi.org/10.1…

Identity information in bonobo vocal communication: from sender to receiver Open
Identity information is vital for highly social species as it facilitates individual recognition and allows for differentiation between social partners in many contexts, such as dominance hierarchies, territorial defence, mating and parent…

Adult human perception of distress in the cries of bonobo, chimpanzee, and human infants Open
Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vert…

Formal monkey linguistics: The debate Open
We explain why general techniques from formal linguistics can and should be applied to the analysis of monkey communication – in the areas of syntax and especially semantics. An informed look at our recent proposals shows that such techniq…

Formal monkey linguistics Open
We argue that rich data gathered in experimental primatology in the last 40 years can benefit from analytical methods used in contemporary linguistics. Focusing on the syntactic and especially semantic side, we suggest that these methods c…

Rupture in long-term vocal recognition of past social partners in bonobos Open
Bonobos live in dense forest habitats where visual communication is often limited rendering vocal signals important to regulate their social interactions. Moreover their fluid fission-fusion society requires contact over long distances, su…
