however, the production of long vocal sequences may involve further energetic costs linked to the fine muscle control that is needed - over several levels of vocal production - to generate these complex utterances. (biomedcentral.com)
The primates combine these calls into long vocal sequences which allow them to convey messages about social cohesion or various dangers, including predation. (sciencedaily.com)
These experiments showed that males have a repertory of six types of alert calls (Boom, Krak, Hok, Hok-oo, Krak-oo, Wak-oo) but only rarely use them in isolation, preferring to produce long vocal sequences of an average of 25 successive calls (each sequence being made up of 1 to 4 types of different calls).

However, the dog cannot imitate and produce the word "sit" itself as vocal learners can. (wikipedia.org)
However, vocal learners exhibit a great deal of plasticity or variation between species, resulting in a spectrum of ability. (wikipedia.org)
Within avian vocal learners, for example, zebra finch songs only contain strictly linear transitions that go through different syllables in a motif from beginning to end, yet mockingbird and nightingale songs show element repetition within a range of legal repetitions, non-adjacent relationships between distant song elements, and forward and backward branching in song element transitions. (wikipedia.org)
non-human primates, mice, and goats, which are traditionally classified as non-learners, are considered limited vocal learners under this system. (wikipedia.org)
A recent hypothesis suggests that allometry-breaking animals cluster into two groups: those with anatomical adaptations to their vocal tracts and those capable of learning new sounds (vocal learners). (mpi.nl)

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. (wikipedia.org)
Here we test this hypothesis by probing vocal tract allometry in a proven mammalian vocal learner, the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina). (mpi.nl)

Historically, species have been classified into the binary categories of vocal learner or vocal non-learner based on their ability to produce novel vocalizations or imitate other species, with evidence from social isolation, deafening studies, and cross-fostering experiments. (wikipedia.org)
Humans, on the other hand, show deeper hierarchical relationships, such as the nesting of phrases within others, and demonstrate compositional syntax, where changes in syntactic organization generate new meanings, both of which are beyond the capabilities of other vocal learning groups Vocal learning phenotype also differ within groups and closely related species will not display the same abilities. (wikipedia.org)
Based on the apparent variations seen in various studies, the continuum hypothesis reclassifies species into non-learner, limited vocal learner, moderate vocal learning, complex vocal learner and high vocal learner categories where higher tiers have fewer species. (wikipedia.org)
Recent work, while generally acknowledging the usefulness of this richer view of vocal learning, has pointed out conceptual and empirical limitations of the vocal learning continuum hypothesis, suggesting more species and factors should be taken into account. (wikipedia.org)
The degree of vocal learning in each specific species varies. (wikipedia.org)
This study shows the capacity of this monkey species for very complex vocal communication, both in the range of transmitted messages and in the techniques used to encode these messages. (sciencedaily.com)
Species capable of producing non-allometric signals while their vocal tract scales allometrically, like seals, may then use non-morphological allometry-breaking mechanisms. (mpi.nl)
Interestingly, in contrast to human vocal learning, most animals can produce species-specific patterns of vocalization without learning them from their parents. (researchgate.net)

Overall, this study highlights the important role of costs and constraints in shaping the temporal and acoustic structure of animal vocal sequences. (biomedcentral.com)
While a range of adaptive benefits of vocal sequences have been demonstrated, much less attention has been paid to the potential costs and constraints involved in producing such signals. (biomedcentral.com)
These costs and constraints could lead to significant trade-offs in how vocal sequences are constructed. (biomedcentral.com)
A recent study of male gelada ( Theropithecus gelada ) vocal sequences provided evidence for just such a trade-off: a negative correlation was found between the number of calls in a sequence and the average duration of these constituent calls [ 20 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
The production of sequences with a greater number of calls thus only appears possible if shorter calls are used within them, which may reflect energetic or breathing constraints on vocal production [ 20 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

Findings in suboscine passerine birds, non-human primates, mice, and goats, has led to the proposal of the vocal learning continuum hypothesis by Erich Jarvis and Gustavo Arriaga. (wikipedia.org)
The most extensively studied model organisms of vocal learning are found in birds, namely songbirds, parrots, and hummingbirds. (wikipedia.org)
This ability to combine calls may have appeared during the monkeys' evolution to compensate for limited vocal flexibility (monkeys have less vocal flexibility than birds and cetaceans) and provide a way to encode new messages. (sciencedaily.com)
