“…Fieldwork might be buttressed by sophisticated computational approaches, which are becoming more accessible and more user friendly. In particular, algorithmic approaches [107] might help us to identify the timescales, contexts and effectors that characterize the production of rhythmic behaviours, even when those rhythms exist outside of humans' temporal niche. Moreover, a broader experimental approach will integrate converging evidence from traditional sensorimotor synchronization experiments with implicit paradigms where synchronization is spontaneous and so does not need to be trained [77] and neuroscientific paradigms where the neural machinery that supports synchronization abilities or their precursors might be better understood [108].…”

In this perspective paper, we focus on the study of synchronization abilities across the animal kingdom. We propose an ecological approach to studying nonhuman animal synchronization that begins from observations about when, how and why an animal might synchronize spontaneously with natural environmental rhythms. We discuss what we consider to be the most important, but thus far largely understudied, temporal, physical, perceptual and motivational constraints that must be taken into account when designing experiments to test synchronization in nonhuman animals. First and foremost, different species are likely to be sensitive to and therefore capable of synchronizing at different timescales. We also argue that it is fruitful to consider the latent flexibility of animal synchronization. Finally, we discuss the importance of an animal's motivational state for showcasing synchronization abilities. We demonstrate that the likelihood that an animal can successfully synchronize with an environmental rhythm is context-dependent and suggest that the list of species capable of synchronization is likely to grow when tested with ecologically honest, species-tuned experiments. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Synchrony and rhythm interaction: from the brain to behavioural ecology’.
