Recursive self-embedded vocal motifs in wild orangutans

A. R. Lameira, M. E. Hardus, A. Ravignani, T. Raimondi, M. Gamba

The paper identifies temporally recursive vocal structures in wild orangutan calls, suggesting evolutionary precursors to human language recursion without syntax or semantics.

Vocal tract allometry in a mammalian vocal learner

K. de Reus, D. Carlson, A. Lowry, S. Gross, M. Garcia, A. Salazar-Casals, A. Rubio-Garcia, A. Ravignani

This study investigates vocal tract allometry in harbour seals, finding that body size predicts vocal tract dimensions and that ontogeny may influence allometry breaking without morphological adaptations.

Neuroanatomy of the grey seal brain: bringing pinnipeds into the neurobiological study of vocal learning

N. Hoeksema, L. Verga, J. Mengede, C. van Roessel, S. Villanueva, A. Salazar-Casals, A. Rubio-Garcia, B. Curcic-Blake, S. Vernes, A. Ravignani

This study provides a neuroanatomical atlas of the grey seal brain, highlighting features relevant to vocal learning and identifying FoxP2 expression in cortical layers.

Vocal plasticity in harbour seal pups

L. Torres Borda, Y. Jadoul, H. Rasilo, A. Salazar Casals, A. Ravignani

This study investigates vocal plasticity in harbour seal pups, finding they lower their fundamental frequency in response to noise, unlike most mammals.

Evolutionary Dynamics Do Not Motivate a Single-Mutant Theory of Human Language

B. de Boer, B. Thompson, A. Ravignani, C. Boeckx

The paper analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of the Chomskyan single-mutant theory of language and finds it unlikely due to probabilistic constraints.

Evolving building blocks of rhythm: How human cognition creates music via cultural transmission

A. Ravignani, B. Thompson, T. Grossi, T. Delgado, S. Kirby

The paper investigates how individual cognitive biases influence the cultural transmission of musical rhythm through experiments and modeling.

Positional encoding in cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus)

E. Versace, J. R. Rogge, N. Shelton-May, A. Ravignani

This study investigates how cotton-top tamarins encode positional regularities in an A(X)nB rule task, finding they use relative position encoding rather than absolute.
