Acoustic Characteristics Of Courtship And Agonistic Vocalizations

They sense our emotions and often move away from fear and anger because these register as potential danger. However, they don’t feel threatened by the more vulnerable human emotions such as sadness and loneliness. Horses can sense the feelings in us that are often out of our conscious awareness and, thus, give us information about ourselves. They mirror our feelings back to us through their body language, therefore, they teach us how we impact those around us. For example if a patient begins to get angry with a horse and loses their temper, they will be able to see the horse recoil which gives the patient a clear understanding of the effect their emotions can

Throughout history, humans have depended on the horse. Horses have contributed to the growth of humankind as transportation, farm workers, and battle steeds. They have been trained to support humans in many ways. When did this relationship begin? At what point did the horse become a vital part of human society? Exploring the evolution of the horse can help to answer these questions.

While viewing Pitch Perfect, there were numerous concepts of communication being depicted throughout the film that were easily identifiable. This movie in summary is about a group of women, in college that join an acapella group called the Barden Bellas. These women do variations and covers of songs throughout performances in the movie. They do this in order to go to the ICCA championships and win the finals against their rival acapella group on their campus, the Treblemakers. The Treblemakers are a dominant male group on campus that does covers of new age and more modern music unlike the Barden Bellas in the opening of the movie where they do more traditional styled music. Becca, the main character, has to juggle an internship, her education, and participating in the Barden Bellas. The Barden Bellas have to make a decision on their final set in order to beat the Treblemakers in the finals at the ICCA championship for acapella singing (Banks, 2012). Throughout this movie there are three defining concepts that are continuously repetitive in nature, and are illustrated in various situations in Pitch Perfect. The three essential key concepts of communication that are portrayed in this film are nonverbal communication, interpersonal conflict, and deceptive communication. Each concept has examples in the movie that represent each one.

There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself

When a horse is bored they will usually put their fount teeth on something. Suck in air, and make a grunting noise. This is called Cribbing, or Wind Sucking.

In addition, many pods of whales, both resident and transient ones around the world, have a distinct repertoire of calls; certain pods that have similarity in these calls are grouped together as clans (Ford, 1991). When pods within clans share most of the same calls, but also have a few different one, the pods are said to have different dialects and are referred to as subclans (Ford, 1991). These repertoires are suspected to be specific to the matrilineal line, but are thought to be learned behaviours rather than genetically inherited (Ford, 1991). This is due to the fact that even when pods from different clans travel together, their communication remains independent (Ford, 1991). The types of calls vary with the type of activity that the whale undergoes, as well as the social setting (Ford, 1989). In British Columbia, studies have shown that whale pods have 7-17 discrete call types, whereas in Alaska there were 3-16 discrete call types (Ford, 1991; Strager, 1994). In one study on Alaskan killer whales, six of the nine pods studied exhibited unique repertories, indicating that killer whales were capable of having vocal traditions (Strager, 1994). These calls may also be unique due to geography differences, as calls recorded in different parts of the world showed overlap; either meaning that these calls were formed independently, there are certain calls

Most primates communicate through a lot of ways, one of them being vocalization. Vocalization in primates have a range of functions, but some vary in contexts. For example, vocalization between one primate and another primate can differ greatly from communication between one group and another group. Of all primates, the only species to have developed speech are humans. Another form of communication is the use of symbols and hand gestures. Although apes use symbols, this provides insight on their cognitive abilities. In particular, there have been various recent studies on nonhuman primates and how they show a high level of complexity in linguistics, which is similar to humans. We study primate communication and their behavior to get a better

The wails of a courting male rhinoceros are called ¡¥hic-throbbing¡¦ or even the males¡¦ love-song. Scientists don¡¦t know why but they believe it has something in common with the deep abdominal groans of the Asian elephant which can be transmitted through the ground and felt by others.

Attitude is important for both you and your horse to understand each other. If you are upset, your horse can sense this, and it puts him on edge. You being upset communicates to him that you are not happy, which makes him nervous because your attitude is unpredictable. This also goes for if you are happy, sad, angry or excited. Your voice is a very important communication device for connecting with your horse.

Evolution is the change of species over many generation. This topic allows people to learn where other animals come from. One animal that I am interested in is a horse because I show horses, and have a passion for them. In this paper I will present researched information about the evolution of the horse. The horse, a mammal of the family Equidae(extant horses, donkeys, and zebras). It came around 50 million years ago, transforming to a small dog-sized. After a period of time it changed into regular horse size. The horse belongs to Perissodactyla (odd-toed.)They are all members who share hooved feet with an odd number of toes, also their upper lips and similar tooth structure. Horses have a common ancestry with rhinoceroses. Modern horses are

The researchers investigated the origin of high frequency hearing starting with one of the earliest toothed whales, Echovenator Sandersi. They tested whether ultrasonic hearing was observed in the earliest toothed whales and whether this trait evolved before or after the development of toothed whales and echolocation.

Since I was five, I have had a passion for horses and interacting with them. When I was younger, my parents gave me an array of dolls and horse figurines to entertain myself. I always used to ignore the dolls and play with horse figurines. Luckily, my older sister loved dolls so she just sneakily stole the dolls away from me one by one while I played with my horse figurines for hours. I have always admired the strength, beauty and power of horses. My interest in horses has caused me to search through websites and books for new ways to connect with them and finally after hours of searching; I finally found my calling.

Vocal communication transmits information about horses’ state of mind; this can be done using a combination of vocal and laryngeal sounds. Horses use 10 distinctive sounds when communicating vocally and each of these express different meanings (Zlotnik, 2012). These distinct sounds are neighs (whinnies), whispers, nickers, squeals, screams, groans, blows, snores, snorts, and roars. Snores, blows, and snorts are unique in that they are used with the throat and nose not vocal cords. Understanding these vocalizations is essential in revealing horse’s motivation and improving horse-human relationships, as well as if these calls are referential, learned and can be used flexibly.
