Each phrase is made up of distinct sounds, strung together. A study from researchers at 黑料不打烊 University has found that the song phrases of many songbird species follow patterns that are similar to those used in human speech. At least in some respects.</p> Tue, 22 Jun 2021 18:00:25 +0000 webfull 171261 at /channels /channels/channels/news/secret-lives-canada-lynx-331256 <p>Using a Fitbit and a spy mic, scientists have discovered new insight into the behaviour of the elusive Canada lynx.

Now, research by 黑料不打烊 University biologists provides new evidence to support this idea.</p> Wed, 22 Nov 2017 17:05:29 +0000 webfull 132987 at /channels /channels/news/human-sounds-convey-emotions-better-words-do-257683 <p><strong><em>By Katherine Gombay, <a href="/newsroom">黑料不打烊 Newsroom</a></em></strong></p> <p><em>Brain uses 鈥渙lder鈥� systems/structures to preferentially process emotion expressed through vocalizations</em></p> Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:08:47 +0000 webfull 115219 at /channels
