Overlapping elephant rumbles appear to function as group signals

NewsfromScience reports that a model trained on individual rumbles predicted the context of overlapping elephant calls.

TLDR

NewsfromScience reports that researchers collected more than 900 recordings of wild elephant rumbles spanning four decades in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park. A model trained on single rumbles also predicted the context of overlapping calls, supporting the researchers’ finding that these choruses communicate specific information.

@NewsfromScienceAt a protected savanna in Kenya, a young elephant named Nastya is lost. She spends more than an hour calling for her family until finally reuniting with her mother. They exchange soft rumbles before walking back to the herd together. Elephants use rumbles to greet each other or tell others to follow them. But, as highly social animals, most rumbles take place in a group, creating a chorus of overlapping vocalizations scientists have trouble parsing out. These choruses are more than just a cacophony of sounds, however. They function as group signals, communicating specific information just like individual rumbles do, researchers report. The scientists collected more than 900 recordings of rumbles spanning 4 decades from wild elephants in Amboseli National Park in Kenya. They used recordings of single rumbles to train a machine learning model. When applied to chorused rumbles, the #AI was able to predict the context of the vocalizations as it did for individual rumbles. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4hEGk1G9h
