On the basis of spectrographic evidence it has been possible to identify 12 basic vocal sound types of canid species [Canis lupus, C. latrans, C. aureus, C. exfamiliaris dingo, C. e. hallstromi, Vulpes vulpes, Urocyon cinereoargenteus, Alopex lagopus, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Dusicyon culpaeus, Speothos venaticus, Lycaon pictus, dogs]. Vocalizations may be mixed either by successive emission of 2 or more sound types, by superimposition of these sounds, or by a combination of these 2 forms. The same basic sound type may differ among canid species along the dimensions of sound duration, separation time between consecutive sounds, principle frequencies, cyclicity and context. Developmental data indicate that domestic dogs first begin to mix sounds by successive sound emissions at about 10 days of age and later by superimposition between 2-3 wk of age. The frequency of occurrence of the basic sound types in different contexts varied between species but not within species. The possible effects of domestication on canid vocalizations are discussed.
