  • Beschreibung: When studying the evolution of animal communication it is important to consider both, the signaller (i.e. signal structure and signal usage) and the receiver (i.e. signal response). While in primates the structure of sounds is supposed to be largely innate, the usage of calls is more malleable and modifiable by experience. The perception and response to calls is highly flexible in primates and, in contrast to signal production, depend strongly on developmental and cognitive mechanisms. Accordingly, the three aspects are expected to be differently affected by evolutionary constrains and sele...
