Book excerpt: Vocal communication in a free-ranging group of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) was examined in order to provide baseline data on the social use of vocalizations in a complex environment. The subjects were a natural troop of feral monkeys inhabiting the banks of the Silver River near Silver Springs, Florida. Vocalizations were recorded and accompanying behavioral data collected using both ad libitum and sequence sampling. Spectrograms were made of representative vocalizations and a catalogue was constructed delineating both the physical characteristics of the sounds and their social usage. Functional, as well as acoustic, criteria were used to distinguish calls, analogous to the manner in which phonemes are distinguished. The present catalogue was compared with other catalogues previously published for rhesus monkeys and other species of macaque. Both the stereotypy of some calls and the graded nature of other calls were noted. It was suggested that all calls could best be understood as the result of position along a series of form gradients, with stereotypic calls occupying relatively invariant positions and "graded" calls occupying variable positions along one or more gradients. The possibility that meaning may be the result of position along multiple form-meaning gradients was also suggested as a constrast to the standard assumption that meaning is categorically coded. Evidence for individualization was examined for the call designated the "basic coo." Although usually referred to as a contact call, the individualized nature of this call suggests that it may function to provide a maintenance level of individualized interaction between group members, necessary to inhibit xenophobic aggression within the group.
Book Synopsis Social Influences on Vocal Development by : Charles T. Snowdon
Download or read book Social Influences on Vocal Development written by Charles T. Snowdon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For at least 30 years, there have been close parallels between studies of birdsong development and those of the development of human language. Both song and language require species-specific stimulation at a sensitive period in development and subsequent practice through subsong and plastic song in birds and babbling in infant humans leading to the development of characteristic vocalisations for each species. This book illustrates how social interactions during development can shape vocal learning and extend the sensitive period beyond infancy and how social companions can induce flexibility even into adulthood. Social companions in a wide range of species including birds and humans but also cetaceans and nonhuman primates play important roles in shaping vocal production as well as the comprehension and appropriate usage of vocal communication. This book will be required reading for students and researchers interested in animal and human communication and its development.

Book Synopsis Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication by : U. Jürgens
Download or read book Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication written by U. Jürgens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 25 years ago, the first major review of primate communication appeared (Altmann, 1967). Since then, information on the communicative abilities of primates increased rapidly, resulting, 15 years later, in the appearance of the first volume in which signaling systems were analyzed in a broader variety of primate groups within an evolutionary perspective (Snowdon, Brown and Petersen, 1982). Seven years later, the first volume dedicated solely to primate vocal communication appeared (Todt, Goedeking and Symmes, 1988) and another four years later a volume followed in which nonverbal vocal communication in non-human primates and human infants was compared (Papousek, Jurgens and Papousek, 1992). None of these volumes, however, provided information about current technical advances in the field of bioacoustics, especially in digital sound analyzing systems, which offer primatologists, anthropologists and linguists nowadays a variety of rapid methods for analyzing human speech and non-human primate vocalizations in a quantitative and comparative way. Choosing the right method is difficult if a synopsis of these tools is lacking. Furthermore, information was particularly lacking on the natural signaling systems of two important primate groups, the prosimians and the apes. Likewise, new and unexpected insights into the ontogeny and evolution of vocal communication were gained during the past few years by the use of highly sophisticated sound analysis and statistical techniques.

Download or read book Primate Vocal Communication written by Dietmar Todt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is both a prerequisite and manifestation of social organization and in this sense several chapters of this volume are aimed to investigate the way vocal communication serves its ultimate function of maintaining social organization. Although manifold parallels exist to vocal communication in birds, additional mechanisms of vocalization are found in primates. Treating the various psychological, ecological, behavioral, and neurobiological aspects of vocalization this book provides an interdisciplinary approach for the understanding of biocommunication in primates including humans. Conceptual as well as methodological considerations are given in a balanced way. The addition of a comprehensive glossary gives an overview also to nonspecialists in this field.

Book Synopsis The Cayo Santiago Macaques by : Matt J. Kessler
Download or read book The Cayo Santiago Macaques written by Matt J. Kessler and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1986-09-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a broad spectrum of research on the Cayo Santiago macaques, a unique free-ranging colony of rhesus macaques in Puerto Rico. It includes thirteen scientific studies on the behavior and biology of the Cayo Santiago macaques, as well as a detailed history of the colony and a complete bibliography of over 260 scientific publications based on work at Cayo Santiago from 1938 through 1984. The chapters represent examples of both short- and long-term research conducted on the island over the past several years. Some are reviews, providing a synopsis of complex longitudinal studies of behavior, vocal communication, functional morphology, genetics, and population dynamics. Others document the results of opportunistic studies of behavior or biological surveys. The chapters cover a broad range of topics, but all share a common dependence on the detailed life history and genealogical data which make the Cayo Santiago macaque colony an important international research resource.
Book Synopsis Primate Hearing and Communication by : Rolf M. Quam
Download or read book Primate Hearing and Communication written by Rolf M. Quam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a comprehensive review of nonhuman primate audition and vocal communication. These are obviously intimately related topics, but are often addressed separately. The hearing abilities of primates have been tested experimentally in a large number of species across the primate order, and these studies have revealed both consistent patterns as well as interesting variation within and between taxonomic groups. Recent studies have shed light on how variation in anatomical structures along the auditory pathway relates to variation in auditory sensitivity. At the same time, ongoing studies of vocal communication in wild primate populations continue to reveal new insights into the social and environmental contexts of many primate calls, and the range of known primate vocalizations has increased dramatically with the development of more sophisticated and accessible auditory equipment and software that enables the recording and analysis of higher-fidelity and broader-band recordings, including documenting very high frequency (i.e. ultrasound) vocalizations. Historically the relative importance of primate calls has been evaluated qualitatively by the perception of the researcher, but new methods and approaches now enable a greater appreciation for how signals are used and perceived by the primates in question. The integration of anatomical and behavioral data on acoustic communication and the environmental correlates thereof has significant potential for reconstructing behavior in the fossil record. This confluence of factors and accumulating evidence for the sophistication and complexity in both the signal and its interpretation indicate that a book synthesizing this information across primates is warranted and represents an important contribution to the literature.
