Vocal acoustics in the endangered proboscis monkey ( Nasalis larvatus )
The endangered proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a sexually highly dimorphic Old World primate endemic to the island of Borneo. Previous studies focused mainly on its ecology and behavior, but knowledge of its vocalizations is limited. The present study provides quantified information on vocal rate and on the vocal acoustics of the prominent calls of this species. We audio-recorded vocal behavior of 10 groups over two 4-month periods at the …
Two organizing principles of vocal production
Vocal communication in nonhuman primates receives considerable research attention, with many investigators arguing for similarities between this calling and speech in humans. Data from development and neural organization show a central role of affect in monkey and ape sounds, however, suggesting that their calls are homologous to spontaneous human emotional vocalizations while having little relation to spoken language. Based on this evidence, we …

Nonlinear acoustics in pant hoots of common chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
The pant hoot calls produced by common chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) are multi‐call vocalizations that have figured prominently in investigations of acoustic communication in this species. Although pant hoots are predominantly harmonically structured, they can exhibit an acoustic complexity that has recently been linked to nonlinearity in the vocal‐fold dynamics underlying typical mammalian sound production. We examined the occurrence of these …

Infant cross‐fostering between Japanese ( Macaca fuscata ) and rhesus macaques ( M. mulatta )
Cross‐fostering of infant rhesus macaques between unrelated females has become a routine management strategy at the California Primate Research Center. In order to study the effect of environmental factors on vocal development, we extended this procedure to offspring exchange between two different macaque species living in small social groups. A total of four neonatal Japanese and rhesus monkeys were fostered onto mothers of the other species. Si…
