Sequential information in a great ape utterance
Birdsong is a prime example of acoustically sophisticated vocal behaviour, but its complexity has evolved mainly through sexual selection to attract mates and repel sexual rivals. In contrast, non-human primate calls often mediate complex social interactions, but are generally regarded as acoustically simple. Here, we examine arguably the most complex call in great ape vocal communication, the ...
متن کاملRates and patterns of great ape retrotransposition.
We analyzed 83 fully sequenced great ape genomes for mobile element insertions, predicting a total of 49,452 fixed and polymorphic Alu and long interspersed element 1 (L1) insertions not present in the human reference assembly and assigning each retrotransposition event to a different time point during great ape evolution. We used these homoplasy-free markers to construct a mobile element inser...
متن کاملUtterance Verificatio Neighborhood Information A
In this paper, we propose to use neighborhood information in model space to perform utterance verification (UV). At first, we present a nested-neighborhood structure for each underlying model in model space and assume the underlying model’s competing models sit in one of these neighborhoods, which is used to model alternative hypothesis in UV. Bayes factors (BF) is first introduced to UV and us...
متن کاملUnexplored Archaeal Diversity in the Great Ape Gut Microbiome
Archaea are habitual residents of the human gut flora but are detected at substantially lower frequencies than bacteria. Previous studies have indicated that each human harbors very few archaeal species. However, the low diversity of human-associated archaea that has been detected could be due to the preponderance of bacteria in these communities, such that relatively few sequences are classifi...
متن کاملEvidence and Interpretation in Great Ape Gestural Communication
Tomasello and colleagues have offered various arguments to explain why apes find the comprehension of pointing difficult. They have argued that: (i) apes fail to understand communicative intentions; (ii) they fail to understand informative, cooperative communication, and (iii) they fail to track the common ground that pointing comprehension requires. In the course of a review of the literature ...
