“…For example, a recent experiment in which pairs of marmosets were placed in a setting in which bursts of interfering broad‐band noise were broadcast showed that subjects coordinated the timing of their antiphonal exchanges to avoid the noise and optimize signaling (Roy et al, ). These experiments suggest that marmosets closely monitor their respective social and acoustic landscape and can adjust their behavior accordingly to maximize communicative efficacy (Toarmino et al, ).…”

There has been recent increasing interest in the use of marmosets, a New World primate species, as a model in biomedical research. One of the principal advantages of marmosets as a research model is their rich vocal repertoire and communicative vocal behaviors displayed both in the wild and in captivity. Studies of this species' vocal communication system have the potential to reveal the evolutionary underpinnings of human speech, and therefore are of interest to the neuroscience and biology research communities. Here a recent research into the behavioral and neurobiological basis of marmoset vocal communication was reviewed and they argued for their broader value as a neuroscientific model. They discuss potential avenues for future research including developmental neurobiology and the application of modern molecular tools to the study of primate communication. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Nonhuman primates can exhibit social tactics familiar to humans, such as deception and strategic alliances (Byrne and Whiten, 1989; le Roux et al, 2012; Palombit et al, 1997). Thus the social landscape of primates is fraught with unique challenges and opportunities (Toarmino et al, In Press). …”

“…Primates excel in modeling and predicting the actions of other group members based on knowledge of their respective relationships gained during prior interactions (Byrne and Bates, 2010; Cheney and Seyfarth, 1990, 2007; Toarmino et al, In Press). An individual's social participation and knowledge encompasses visual observation, active communication, the testing of social rules, and strategic thinking – skills that together have shaped the evolution of the primate brain (Adolphs, 2009; Frith and Frith, 1999; Ghazanfar and Santos, 2004).…”

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has garnered interest recently as a powerful model for the future of neuroscience research. Much of this excitement has centered on the species’ reproductive biology and compatibility with gene editing techniques, which together have provided a path for transgenic marmosets to contribute to the study of disease as well as basic brain mechanisms. In step with technical advances is the need to establish experimental paradigms that optimally tap into the marmosets’ behavioral and cognitive capacities. While conditioned task performance of a marmoset can compare unfavorably with rhesus monkey performance on conventional testing paradigms, marmosets’ social cognition and communication are more similar to that of humans. For example, marmosets are amongst only a handful of primates that, like humans, routinely pair bond and care cooperatively for their young. They are also notably pro-social and exhibit social cognitive abilities, such as imitation, that are rare outside of the Apes. In this review, we describe key facets of marmoset natural social behavior and demonstrate that emerging behavioral paradigms are well suited to isolate components of marmoset cognition that are highly relevant to humans. These approaches generally embrace natural behavior and communication, which has been rare in conventional primate testing, and thus allow for a new consideration of neural mechanisms underlying primate social cognition and communication. We anticipate that through parallel technical and paradigmatic advances, marmosets will become an essential model of human social behavior, including its dysfunction in nearly all neuropsychiatric disorders.

“…Waser & Waser 1977), but this is not always the case; Ey et al (2009) found that the noise hamadryas baboons Papio hamadryas contend with in rainforests is less than the noise associated with the savannas within their range. In response to noise, species may alter the incidence and rate of calling (Toarmino et al 2016, Snowdon 2017). The reviewed papers only addressed differences between noise in rainforests and open habitats, none accounted for noise across other habitat types (e.g.…”

Acoustic ecology of terrestrial mammals: a new Signaller–Receiver Conceptual Framework

Mammals use sound for a variety of purposes, such as detecting the presence of others and maintaining social bonds. Much research on mammalian acoustics has been focussed on marine mammals and bats; less has considered terrestrial species. Our goal was to review knowledge about the role of acoustics in the behaviour and ecology of terrestrial mammals and to develop a conceptual framework that contextualises the knowledge. The purpose of the framework was to enable researchers to place their work in a broader understanding of the acoustics of terrestrial mammals, as well as to support them to articulate and explore new questions. We conducted a keyword search in Web of Science and removed papers that did not meet our criteria, resulting in 228 reviewed papers. We scored these for keywords and used concept maps to identify broad patterns. Of the 228 papers, 219 were focussed on acoustic communication. We therefore structured our Signaller–Receiver Conceptual Framework around factors that influence signallers (i.e. mammals producing sound) and receivers (i.e. mammals receiving sound). Factors that influence signallers were placed into two categories – those that influence call emission and those that influence call structure. Factors that influence receivers also fell into two categories – those that influence detection of sound and those that influence responses to sound. We added an additional receiver category – responses to sound. We present the framework in terms of five types of factors (environmental, social, morphological and physiological, state‐related factors, and other) and how they influence both signallers and receivers. Our review is the first to detail the range of factors influencing acoustic ecology of terrestrial mammals, and our framework provides context for the articulation of hypotheses that integrate multiple factors, and so can help researchers place their work in a broader context.
