Presents a comprehensive review of nonhuman primate audition and
vocal communication. These are obviously intimately related topics,
but are often addressed separately. The hearing abilities of
primates have been tested experimentally in a large number of
species across the primate order, and these studies have revealed
both consistent patterns as well as interesting variation within
and between taxonomic groups. Recent studies have shed light on how
variation in anatomical structures along the auditory pathway
relates to variation in auditory sensitivity. At the same time,
ongoing studies of vocal communication in wild primate populations
continue to reveal new insights into the social and environmental
contexts of many primate calls, and the range of known primate
vocalizations has increased dramatically with the development of
more sophisticated and accessible auditory equipment and software
that enables the recording and analysis of higher-fidelity and
broader-band recordings, including documenting very high frequency
(i.e. ultrasound) vocalizations. Historically the relative
importance of primate calls has been evaluated qualitatively by the
perception of the researcher, but new methods and approaches now
enable a greater appreciation for how signals are used and
perceived by the primates in question. The integration of
anatomical and behavioral data on acoustic communication and the
environmental correlates thereof has significant potential for
reconstructing behavior in the fossil record. This confluence of
factors and accumulating evidence for the sophistication and
complexity in both the signal and its interpretation indicate that
a book synthesizing this information across primates is warranted
and represents an important contribution to the literature.
