The phenomenon of multiple prey animals swarming larger predators to drive them off is known as mobbing.[0] Crows seem to do it quite readily. Very cool that you got to see it! [0]…
See my reply to your sibling comment - I do in fact mean spectral complexity at any given moment, not just over the course of the song. Many species of birds can and do vocalize with complicated timbre, including…
I should have been clearer. I am also talking about moment-to-moment spectral complexity or entropy. I agree that the point TFA is suggesting seems to be about the spectral complexity at any given moment in song - what…
I don't want to detract from the images, or the work that went into this, but, er, there are a lot of types of birds. Just among passerines (songbirds), we're talking over 6,000 species. So any sweeping statement like…
The concept is interesting, but I'm a little leery of the detail that the benchmark performance reported is in each case "the best run out of 100". One can claim, thus, only that this sort method's near-best-case…
If only this were true. (By "modern" I assume you mean densely-spaced [~10um] multi-pad linear silicon probes, the NeuroPixel being the most celebrated example among the non-specialist public.) What many pads close…
I don't want to detract from the cleverness here, but I believe your benchmarks could use some work. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Simply testing something 1000 times and (presumably) presenting the arithmetic mean is…
