Toward testing for multimodal perception of mating signals
Many mating signals consist of multimodal components that need decoding by several
sensory modalities on the receiver's side. For methodological and conceptual reasons, the …

PIEZO2 and perineal mechanosensation are essential for sexual function
RM Lam, LJ von Buchholtz, M Falgairolle, J Osborne… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Despite the potential importance of genital mechanosensation for sexual reproduction, little
is known about how perineal touch influences mating. We explored how mechanosensation …

[BOOK][B] Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland: Expanded and Revised Second Edition
N Middleton, A Froud, K French - 2022 - books.google.com
The social calls of bats are an area about which relatively little is known, with more research
still required to expand our understanding. However, these calls are increasingly recognised …

Complex vocal imitation during ontogeny in a bat
Vocal imitation—the ability to learn a previously unknown acoustic signal from a tutor—is
considered to be a key innovation in the evolution of speech. This faculty is very rare and …

Babbling in a vocal learning bat resembles human infant babbling
Babbling is a production milestone in infant speech development. Evidence for babbling in
nonhuman mammals is scarce, which has prevented cross-species comparisons. In this …

Bat echolocation calls facilitate social communication
Bat echolocation is primarily used for orientation and foraging but also holds great potential
for social communication. The communicative function of echolocation calls is still largely …

A new classification of mammalian uni-male multi-female groups based on the fundamental principles governing inter-and intrasexual relationships
Polygyny is the most common mating system in mammals, and many species form uni-male
multi-female groups (UM-MF units). Polygynous systems are traditionally distinguished …

Female Mate Choice Can Drive the Evolution of High Frequency Echolocation in Bats: A Case Study with Rhinolophus mehelyi
Animals employ an array of signals (ie visual, acoustic, olfactory) for communication. Natural
selection favours signals, receptors, and signalling behaviour that optimise the received …

Learned vocal group signatures in the polygynous bat Saccopteryx bilineata
Vocal group signatures facilitate group cohesion or the exclusion of nongroup members and
thus greatly affect the social system of any given species. This is especially significant for …
