“…Although there have been few experimental tests of individual recognition in long-distance calls (cf. Waser 1977;Snowdon & Hodun 1985), all acoustical analyses to date indicate the potential for individual recognition (e.g. Chapman & Weary 1990;Mitani & Brandt 1994).…”

The function and mechanisms underlying baboon ‘contact’ barks

Abstract. Free-ranging baboons, Papio cynocephalus ursinus, in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, often give loud 'contact' barks when separated from other group members. Although these calls appear to function to maintain contact between widely dispersed animals, individuals apparently do not give contact barks with the intent of informing others of their location. Females are more likely to give a contact bark in the 5 min after they themselves have called than in the 5 min after another female has called. Playback experiments suggest that females primarily 'answer' their close relatives' contact barks when they themselves are separated from other females or at the end of the group progression.

“…The basic functions of vocal exchanges are to locate group members and maintain contact within the same group (Itani 1963;Okayasu 1987;Sugiura 1998Sugiura , 2001. In primates, several types of contact calls have been reported (Winter et al 1966;Moody and Menzel 1976;Masataka 1982;Snowdon and Cleveland 1984;Snowdon and Hodun 1985;Oda 1996). Previous studies have noted that contact calls are often heard in rapid sequences involving two and occasionally more animals; therefore, it is assumed that these calls are not randomly emitted among group members (Masataka and Biben 1987).…”

Vocal exchanges of signature whistles in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) produce individually distinctive vocalizations-referred to as ''signature whistles''-that are thought to function as an individual and conspecific recognition system for maintenance of consistent contact between individuals. Observations and playback experiments were conducted at aquariums to study these whistle-vocal exchanges in bottlenose dolphins. Temporal patterns of vocalization were examined by analyzing the intercall intervals between two consecutive whistles. When a second individual produced a call that was different from the first individual's vocalization, most of these calls were shorter than 1 s. However, when two consecutive calls were produced by the same individual, the second call rarely occurred within 1 s of the first. These results suggest that a second whistle may be produced by a different caller in response to the first whistle; however, in the case of an absence of a response, the first caller is likely to give further whistles. The results of this acoustic analysis show that the dolphins used in this study mostly used signature whistles during the recorded vocal exchanges.

These "isolation calls" often result in vocal responses from group members [e.g., Snowdon & Hodun, 1985;Masataka, 19881. Presumably, isolation calls function to reunite a lost caller with the group, thereby maintaining group cohesion.…”

Responses to natural and synthetic phee calls by common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)

Captive adult common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) produce whistlelike "phee" calls in two contexts: in the home cage, where phee calls may function as part of territorial marking behavior, and when separated from social companions, where phee calls may function to reunite conspecifics. Natural and synthesized calls representing the acoustic structure of male and female calls in each context were presented to adult marmosets in a playback paradigm. Marmosets demonstrated discriminative abilities according to the context of the call and the caller's sex. Vocal and behavioral responses indicated increased vigilance and territorial behavior, following playbacks of naturally produced calls as well as synthetic calls. All animals scanned more frequently following produced calls as well as synthetic calls. All animals scanned more frequently following natural home cage as well as isolation calls, but only increased contact behavior (trills) in response to home cage calls. The responses were dimorphic according to the sex of the caller, where adult males scanned more following male calls, and adult females were more aggressive following male and female calls. The differential behavioral responses to playbacks of marmoset phee calls suggest a biological relevance to subtle differences found in the acoustic parameters of the phee call.
