Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Australian languages have been characterized as having a high degree of phonotactic homogeneity. Nevertheless, we detect phylogenetic signal in all datasets. ...
Phylogenetic signal is greater in finer-grained frequency data than in binary data, and greatest in natural-class-based data. ...
Phylogenetic signal in continuous phonotactic data We test whether a higher degree of phylogenetic signal is detectable in continuous-valued biphone characters. ...

High-definition phonotactic typology in Sahul: Choosing the data-rich approach
2018
Figshare
The phonotactics of languages may be compared, in the simplest case, in terms of which sequences of segments each language permits or does not permit, and this kind of data is often provided in descriptive ...
On these terms, Australian languages have been described as notably homogenous in their phonotactic systems (Hamilton, 1996), as in their phonological systems more generally (Dixon, 1980; Baker, 2014). ...

Male Responses to Conspecific Advertisement Signals in the Field Cricket Gryllus rubens (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

In many species males aggregate and produce long-range advertisement signals to attract conspecific females. ...
In response to conspecific advertisement signals, males of acoustic insects and anurans may employ two types of response: (1) phonotactic response in which males move toward the source of the signal ...

Divergence in female calling song discrimination between sympatric and allopatric populations of the southern wood cricket Gryllus fultoni (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
2006
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
The divergent pattern of female phonotactic discrimination between sympatric and far allopatric populations was thus generally congruent with the pattern of divergence in chirp and pulse rates and would ...
A previous study revealed that chirp rate in G. fultoni was highest (greatest difference vis-à-vis chirp rate in G. vernalis) in sympatric populations, intermediate in near allopatric populations that ...

Effects of heterospecific call overlap on the phonotactic behaviour of grey treefrogs
2006
Animal Behaviour
The results demonstrate that the effects of signal overlap on female phonotactic behaviour may be complex. ...
We investigated the effects of overlap between the advertisement calls of two closely related and oftensympatric species of grey treefrogs on female phonotactic behaviour and signal selectivity. ...
Phonotactic responses that may be affected by signal overlap include signal detection and recognition, the speed of the phonotactic approach, and the accuracy of sound-source localization. ...
