Two hybrid offspring, one male and one female, were produced by a Hylobates muelleri female mated to a Hylobates lar male at Micke Grove Zoo, Lodi, California. Songs of the hybrids were studied at adulthood and compared to the parental‐type songs. The hybrid female song is uniquely different from either parental type. The hybrid male song resembles the male song of H. lar, but contains an element that may be unique to H. muelleri. The study demonstrates the utility of sound‐spectographic…

Individual and Geographical Variability in the Songs of Wild Silvery Gibbons (Hylobates Moloch) on Java, Indonesia
TLDR
The aim of this study is to answer the following questions: to what degree is great-call variability within a species useful for both individual and population identification and to test the validity of subspecific taxon boundaries suggested by previously reported genetic data.
Production of a female-specific great call in an immature male gibbon, the Nomascus genus
TLDR
The recorded vocal behaviour of a juvenile male northern white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) indicates an interesting pattern of vocal ontogeny in Nomascus and suggests a certain degree of plasticity in the vocal signalling in gibbons.
Development of the Female Great Call in Hylobates gabriellae: A Case Study
TLDR
The developmental trajectory of the female great call in a captive infant Hylobates gabriellae female is described on the basis of periodic tape recordings made while she participated in the duetting of her parents.
Gibbon Songs: Understanding the Evolution and Development of This Unique Form of Vocal Communication
TLDR
This contribution attempts to argue the tentative hypothesis that socio-ecological factors enhance auditory-dominant communication systems in gibbons by reviewing recent studies on specialized patterns of development and production mechanisms of gibbon songs.
Subspecific divergence in a loud call of the ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata)
TLDR
Quantitative differences in this loud call of ruffed lemur subspecies indicate that these prosimians exhibit subspeciation trends similar to anthropoid primates for which comparable data exist.
Individuality in a contact call of the ringtailed lemur (Lemur catta)
TLDR
This study represents an initial examination of vocal individuality in prosimian primates and found significant differences in pair‐wise comparisons of call structure among the study subjects, thus providing the physical basis for individual discrimination.
COVARVARIATION IN THE GREAT CALLS OF REHABILITANT AND WILD GIBBONS (HYLOBATES ALBIBARBIS)
TLDR
This result shows that captive-raised gibbon females can learn flexibility in the song pattern in the great call phase, and evidence is presented suggesting that separate populations of the same species may have distinct dialects.
Duet‐splitting and the evolution of gibbon songs

TLDR
This appears to be the first time that a non‐duetting animal can be shown to be derived from a duetting form, and the return to exclusive solo singing may be related to the isolated island distribution of the non-duetting species.
Function of Loud Calls in Howler Monkeys
Beyond the unique sound of howler monkey vocalizations, their vigorous loud calling displays are perplexing given the otherwise sedentary lifestyle of these primates. Here we provide potential…
Vocal diversity of Kloss's Gibbons (Hylobates klossii) in the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia
TLDR
It is proposed that gibbons may have spread across the Mentawai islands at a considerably later date than the other non-human primates and this and a longer generation span may explain why only Kloss's gibbons do not exhibit distinct taxa on Siberut and the more southern islands of mentawai.

Genetic Control of Acoustic Behavior in Crickets
TLDR
Evidence is presented that acoustic behavior in field crickets is under firm genetic control and the possibility that calling song production in the male and its reception in the female are genetically coupled is discussed.
The Vocalizations of Some Hybrid Treefrogs: Acoustic and Behavioral Analyses
TLDR
The vocalizations of natural hybrids between various species of treefrogs (Hylidae) are compared and the closer the spectrum of a natural call resembled that of conspecific calls, the more attractive was the acoustic signal.

TLDR
Song is mainly for interterritorial communication between members of the same sex, male-song probably also functions in mate attraction, and chorusing is primarily an adaptation reducing predation risk to singing gibbons.
