A series of analytical calculations were performed to determine the number of expected female vocalizations and vocal interactions.
Because female mice vocally participate in courtship chases, we investigated the specific role of the female's vocalization during vocal interactions.
(A ) The number of male-vocalization-initiated vocal interactions and total chase time for a given male-female pair was strongly correlated (n = 28; r = 0.74, p < 10−5).
During chases, there were 107 male vocalizations that were not followed within a second by a female or unassigned vocalization and 823 vocal interactions.
If we recalculate on a per-vocalization basis then the 823 vocal interactions that occurred during chases would yield 823 assigned male vocalizations and 823 assigned female vocalizations for a total of 1646 vocalizations.
In the discussion, we consider and expand upon the most salient components of social vocalizations that emerged from our investigations, focusing on the potential impact of the tool, the role of female vocalizations, the synchrony of male and female vocalizations, and the function of vocal interactions during courtship.
(C ) Mouse speeds at the time of the male vocalization during chases with and without vocal interactions.
We investigated information transfer during vocal interactions between cricket frogs, Acris crepitans, with a specific focus on information about size and intention.
The results suggested significant differences between groups on visual and tactile synchronic interactions, and a tendency for vocal interactions, in the direction of higher frequencies in the experimental group.
Its continuous structure does not allow distant, alternating vocal interactions.
In the wild, class-II whistles characterize one bird in the colony [19] and they usually do not evoke vocal interactions [20].
