Imitation learning based on an intrinsic motivation mechanism for efficient coding
TL;DR: A proposed mechanism derived from a recently proposed form of intrinsically motivated learning for efficient coding in active perception offers an account for the development of mirror neurons and makes a number of predictions.
Female Dark-eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis thurberi) produce male-like song in a territorial context during the early breeding season
TL;DR: Three independent observations of female dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) producing male-like song early in the breeding season in a recently established non-migratory, urban population suggest a potential function for female song in mate guarding and polygyny prevention.

Animals and Music: Between cultural definitions and sensory evidence
TL;DR: A growing body of research now reports that auditory memory and auditory mechanisms in animals are not as simplistic as once thought and evidence suggests, in some cases, the presence of musical abilities in animals as discussed by the authors.

A study of Mexican free-tailed bat chirp syllables: Bayesian functional mixed models for nonstationary acoustic time series
TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian functional mixed model is used to analyze chirp syllables of free-tailed bats from two regions of Texas in which they are predominant: Austin and College Station.

Vocal dialect and genetic subdivisions along a geographic gradient in the orange-tufted sunbird
TL;DR: Using a network analysis, it is shown that dialects seem to aggregate into several network communities, which clustered settlement populations from several regions, a pattern that requires further examination in other systems.
