G. Talmage-Riggs, Peter F. Winter, Detlev Ploog, William V. Mayer

Abstract

In pairs of female squirrel monkeys the subordinate animal was deafened. Changes were observed in the frequency of vocalizations and in their sequential arrangement. Measurements of the physical aspects of the vocalizations revealed changes in intensity, but not in the quality of the calls.
