ABSTRACT Bioacoustics offers new ways to monitor wildlife populations. Understanding vocal changes related to age can provide demographic data that are valuable but difficult to collect for threatened species. Here, we present the vocal signals of ontogeny and fledging in nestlings for two endangered black-cockatoos, the Kangaroo Island glossy black-cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, and the south-eastern red-tailed black-cockatoo, C. banksii graptogyne. Using sound recordings taken at wild nests (n = 3 for the red-tailed black-cockatoo; n = 7 for the glossy black-cockatoo), we examined changes in nestling vocalisations through to fledging. Nestlings vocalised from 4 weeks of age, but calls were soft and infrequent until about 6 weeks. Daily call rate increased significantly in the final week of nesting. Peak amplitude increased significantly with development for both subspecies. Call duration increased significantly for the glossy black-cockatoo. Likewise, low frequency increased significantly for the glossy black-cockatoo. Average entropy decreased significantly for both subspecies. Aggregate entropy decreased significantly for the red-tailed black-cockatoo. Fledging was associated with a loud and distinct vocal event. Together, these changes in call rate and structure, and the presence or absence of fledging vocalisations, provide useful ways to broadly categorise nest age and determine nest outcome from sound recordings.

ABSTRACT Social insects communicate by using chemical, visual, tactile, and acoustic signals, including stridulations. Ectatomma ruidum is a mainly Neotropical ant species complex that has faced strong divergence at the genetic level; the species have a highly variable blend of cuticular hydrocarbons and a relatively conserved morphology. Based on evidence for genetic and chemical differentiation, we tested for variation in acoustic traits. We compared the stridulations produced by the species E. ruidum sp. 2, sp. 3–4 and the new putative species E. ruidum sp. 5, as well as the morphology of the stridulatory file. We found that the stridulations produced by E. ruidum sp. 5 were statistically different from those of the other species in a number of traits. The differences in stridulatory traits might rely more on the way the ants produce the sound (rubbed area percentages) than on the morphology of the stridulatory file, for which we did not find variation. Our results highlight the use of acoustic traits as potential taxonomic tools for integrative taxonomic studies and suggest that the acoustic traits of E. ruidum species complex have been subjected to selection.

ABSTRACT The Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) represents an exception among the European accipitrids, as it forms highly populated colonies. Although it has been the subject of many studies, social interactions and intraspecific communication are still relatively unexplored. Because of its social habits, we hypothesise that the sound language of the griffon vulture is far more complex than previously believed; the ‘Social Intelligence Hypothesis’ could in fact be relevant to this species. In this study, we took as a model the vulture population of the central Apennines (Italy), comparing the vocalisations recorded in three different locations: (i) supplementary feeding station; (ii) nesting and roosting cliffs far from anthropogenic disturbance; (iii) nesting and roosting cliffs close to settlements and roads. The results obtained by 80 monitoring hours and 20 recording hours show an articulated vocal repertoire, characterised by 12 sound categories associated with different age groups and possibly to very specific behavioural contexts. The vocal repertoire is also marked in some cases by nonlinear phenomena revealing different degrees of behavioural complexity related to the expression of emotional states and social interactions. The next steps will focus on individual recognition mechanisms and the interactions with other species sharing part of the same ecological niche.

ABSTRACT To date, there are no published guidelines on how to optimally install recorders on sloped terrain, although slope could potentially affect a recorder’s detection space. This study experimentally investigated the effect of microphone orientation in relation to slope of recorders from two cost classes. We installed four recorders at each plot centre (n = 16), oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the slope. We played standard tones of 1–11 kHz at distances of 10, 20, 40 and 80 m from the recorders. Our two response variables were the presence/absence of each tone (coarse spatial scale) and predicted sound extinction distance (fine spatial scale), which were tested for effects of microphone orientation and sound source direction (SSD). We observed a significant effect of microphone orientation on extinction distance when recorders were perpendicular to the slope at the finer spatial scale as an interaction with SSD, indicating that microphones are biased towards the direction they face. Despite the advertised directionality of most recorder microphones, detection space is not circular. This trend was observed across all frequencies, for both high- and low-cost recorders. Microphone orientation in relation to slope is not an important methodological consideration, instead dominant factors such as frequency and prevailing wind direction drive detection space shape.
