许多非人类灵长类动物的社会行为表明，它们具有识别个体和亲属的能力。在这些物种中，远距离发出信号和感知身份的能力可能是促进群体内社会交流的重要适应。据推测，发声的变化为这种能力提供了基础。通过回放实验来测试成年雌性恒河猴对接触呼叫的声音识别能力。使用母系亲属或熟悉的非亲属组成员的单次通话回放来测试亲属与非亲属的歧视。雌性对母系亲属的接触呼叫反应明显更快、更长；然后使用习惯-歧视范式来测试个体识别。雌性习惯了连续呈现一个母系亲属的不同接触呼叫范例，然后对随后呈现的第二个母系亲属的接触呼叫表现出显著的反弹。这些结果表明了个体和亲属的声音识别能力。女性对回放的反应表明，对母系亲属关系或其相关关系的分类识别有额外的可能性。(C) 1996动物行为研究协会。
The social behaviour of many species of non-human primates suggests a capacity for both individual and kin recognition. In these species, the ability to signal and perceive identity at a distance may be an important adaptation facilitating intra-group social communication. Variation in vocalizations is hypothesized to provide a basis for this ability. Playback experiments were conducted to test for vocal recognition of contact calls between adult female rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta. Single-trial playbacks of the contact call of either a matrilineal relative or a Familiar, non-relative group member were used to test for discrimination of kin from non-kin. Females responded significantly faster and longer to the contact calls of matrilineal relatives;A habituation-discrimination paradigm was then used to test for individual recognition. Females habituated to successive presentations of different exemplars of the contact calls of one matrilineal relative, then showed a significant rebound in response to the subsequent presentation of a contact call from a second matrilineal relative. These results indicate an ability for vocal recognition of both individuals and kin. Females' responses to playbacks suggested the additional possibility for categorical recognition of matrilineal kinship, or its correlates. (C) 1996 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour.
