… In the 1970s, researchers began to apply information theory (Shannon, 1948, Shannon and
Weaver, 1949) and Zipf's law for human language (Zipf, 1949) to the internal organization of
birdsong (Lemon & Chatfield, 1973), to quantify the amount of information transferred by this …

… misalignment and frequency variation. The frequency distribution of birdsong elements
often resembles a Zipf-Mandelbrot distribution where some phrases appear many
times, while others appear sparingly. Thus, it is important …

Speech has long been thought of as a uniquely defining characteristic of humans. Yet song birds,
like humans, communicate using learned signals (song, speech) that are acquired from their
parents by a process of vocal imitation. Both song and speech begin as amorphous vocalizations …

… It was hypothesized that, given the structure of humpback whale song and its similarities to
complex birdsong, it will contain both small-world network structure and a Zipf–Mandelbrot
distribution as these features are common among similar complex and learned vocal displays …
