A female that uses vocalizations after copulating with her mate attracts other males, with whom she is also likely to engage in multiple acts of mating. [19] As a consequence male mates provide non-genetic benefits, such as food, to the female they mated with. [27] Such vocalization-facilitated promiscuity heightens the female's reproductive ...
Toothed whale (odontocete) vocal anatomy. Most mammalian species produce sound by passing air from the lungs across the larynx, vibrating the vocal folds. [3] Sound then enters the supralaryngeal vocal tract, which can be adjusted to produce various changes in sound output, providing refinement of vocalizations. [3]
Certain words in the English language represent animal sounds: the noises and vocalizations of particular animals, especially noises used by animals for communication. The words can be used as verbs or interjections in addition to nouns , and many of them are also specifically onomatopoeic .
Vocal learning is the ability to modify acoustic and syntactic sounds, acquire new sounds via imitation, and produce vocalizations. "Vocalizations" in this case refers only to sounds generated by the vocal organ (mammalian larynx or avian syrinx ) as opposed to by the lips, teeth, and tongue, which require substantially less motor control. [ 1 ]
The avian vocal organ is called the syrinx; [12] it is a bony structure at the bottom of the trachea (unlike the larynx at the top of the mammalian trachea). The syrinx and sometimes a surrounding air sac resonate to sound waves that are made by membranes past which the bird forces air.
Only the male frogs are able to produce mating calls to attract gravid female frogs. When male and non-gravid female frogs are clasped by sexually active male frogs, they produce a release call. In the leopard frog, there are three movements for their sound production. First, there are body wall contradictions to serve as a way for the intra ...
Later, he put a male cricket behind a microphone and female crickets in front of a loudspeaker. The females were not moving towards the male but towards the loudspeaker. [5] Regen's most important contribution to the field apart from realization that insects also detect airborne sounds was the discovery of tympanal organ's function. [6]
Superb lyrebird females are silent during courtship; however, they regularly produce sophisticated vocal displays during foraging and nest defense. [22] A recording of a superb lyrebird mimicking sounds of an electronic shooting game, workmen and chainsaws was added to the National Film and Sound Archive's Sounds of Australia registry in 2013.
