Abstract The characterization and frequency of occurrence of ultrasonic vocalizations produced by females rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) during copulation were investigated. By devocalizing one member of a male-female pair, it was demonstrated that female rats produce complex, brief 40–70-kHz vocalizations during copulation. These calls shared common structural characteristics with those produced by males and occurred with similar frequency. The female-produced vocalizations were controlled by a… CONTINUE READING
