Goat Discrimination of Emotional Valence in the Human Voice

M. A. Mason, S. Semple, H. H. Marshall, A. G. McElligott

This study investigates whether goats can discriminate emotional valence in human voices using a habituation-dishabituation-rehabituation paradigm, finding behavioral changes but no physiological arousal responses.

Sex and dominance status affect allogrooming in free-ranging feral cattle

G. M. W. Hodgson, K. J. Flay, T. A. Perroux, W. Y. Chan, A. G. McElligott

The paper examines how sex and dominance status influence allogrooming in free-ranging feral cattle, finding that dominant females receive more grooming and males groom females more than other males.

Delayed benefits for fallow bucks: more fights decrease same day mating success, but may increase matings the next day

A. Bateman-Neubert, E. F. Briefer, A. G. McElligott

This study shows that higher-ranked male fallow deer fight more during the mating season, which decreases same-day mating success but may increase mating success the next day.

Goat kid recognition of their mothers' calls is not impacted by changes in source-filter parameters.

T. A. Perroux, A. G. McElligott, E. F. Briefer

This study tests if goat kids use source-filter parameters (F0 and formants) to recognize their mothers' calls, finding no effect of modifying these parameters on kid reactions.
