This review paper discusses rhythmic interactions and distinguishes them from non-rhythmic
interactions. We report on communicative behaviours in social and sexual contexts, as found …

Understanding why individuals carry out behaviours that benefit others, especially
genetically unrelated others, has been a major undertaking in many fields and particularly in …

How did rhythm originate in humans, and other species? One cross-cultural universal,
frequently found in human music, is isochrony: when note onsets repeat regularly like the …

For over a century, the evolution of animal play has sparked scientific curiosity. The
prevalence of social play in juvenile mammals suggests that play is a beneficial behavior …

Abstract In Shark Bay, Western Australia, male bottlenose dolphins form a complex nested
alliance hierarchy. At the first level, pairs or trios of unrelated males cooperate to herd …

Understanding the impact of human disturbance on wildlife populations is of societal
importance, 1 with anthropogenic noise known to impact a range of taxa, including …

Cooperation experiments have long been used to explore the cognition underlying animals'
coordination towards a shared goal. While the ability to understand the need for a partner in …

While rhythm can facilitate and enhance many aspects of behavior, its evolutionary trajectory
in vocal communication systems remains enigmatic. We can trace evolutionary processes by …

Coordination of behavior for cooperative performances often relies on linkages mediated by
sensory cues exchanged between participants. How neurophysiological responses to …

The field of bioacoustics is rapidly develo** and characterized by diverse methodologies,
approaches and aims. For instance, bioacoustics encompasses studies on the perception of …
