“…Two asymmetrical vocal folds, with unequal masses or lengths, induce nonlinear phenomena (NLP), which include four acoustic characteristics, that is, frequency jumps, subharmonics, deterministic chaos, and biphonations (Fitch et al, 2002 ). NLP, as distinctive structural features of acoustic signals, are ubiquitous among the acoustic signals of vertebrates (Digby et al, 2014 ; Feng, Riede, et al, 2009 ; Fitch et al, 2002 ; Rice et al, 2011 ; Zhang et al, 2017 ). The occurrence and strength of NLP in calls not only increase individual vocal distinctiveness but also attract more attention from receivers in individual interactions, which was widely confirmed in fish and mammals (Fitch et al, 2002 ; Volodina et al, 2006 ; Wilden et al, 1998 ).…”
