Is the Capacity for Vocal Learning in Vertebrates Rooted in Fish Schooling Behavior?

Have you ever had one of those crazy ideas in the middle of the night, got up in the morning and just decided to go full steam ahead and see where you end up. I feel like that process might have shaped this interesting paper. https://t.co/oFE6HT7N3E https:

@AndrewFoote2 @torsketromming Yes! Fishes have vocal learning (it's evolution in vertebrates might even stem from fish schooling https://t.co/4YijAxFlT8) though I'm not aware of such work on cod. But both are certainly possible! We'll compare the "accents"

Check out the incredible coordination of schooling fish. Could synchronized movement like this have helped create the neural pathways we now use for language? @BYU Environmental Science professor @thermokarst and Matz Larsson wonder... https://t.co/u088PL2

Researchers show support for the "acoustic advantages" hypothesis, which posits that vertebrate vocal learning pathways stem from fish schooling behavior. #MUevolution20 https://t.co/rKLvRapUjS

Fascinating. And, if one follows the consequences of this architecture being retained from fishes it might imply something about sexuality as well. https://t.co/fMeD7sdffP

"Brain pathways for vocal learning evolved within strong constraints from a common ancestor, potentially fish." https://t.co/dX7bwpnLj0

This reply is underrated...check this paper out! Birds can thank their fishy ancestors for their flocking behaviors #BirdsvsFish

@kinshisha_T @Sternarchella False choice. Birds learned to flock and sing from fish so are basically in the family https://t.co/Bpyc6HKel3. #teamfird

Our paper linking vocal learning with fish schooling was called a "tangled skein of errors" before finally being published last year: https://t.co/Bpyc6HKel3. One criticism was an absence of fossil evidence of schooling. . . until now! https://t.co/sqPic

Is our ability to learn songs and dance rooted in fish schooling behavior? See if you agree with Reviewer 3 who described our work, published today in Evolutionary Biology, as a "tangled skein of error" and a "conceptual shipwreck" https://t.co/Bpyc6HKel3
