倭黑猩猩(Pan paniscus)的声音交流主要在圈养群体中进行研究。在野外进行的少数研究只针对它们行为的特定方面。本研究的目的是对声乐曲目进行初步描述,并对所描述的发声的上下文使用进行定性描述。对3个野生群落共68只进行了685 h的观察。在研究的任何阶段都没有使用人工喂养。声乐曲目由15个声乐单元和19个序列组成,在序列和声乐单元中都有很大的变化,并且类别并不总是完全分离的。大多数序列被用于不同的环境中,对于每一种行为,都有一个完整的序列阵列及其变化。所观察到的行为模式和动物在每种情况下发出的序列进行了讨论,版权(C) 1999 S. Karger AG,巴塞尔。
Vocal communication in bonobos, Pan paniscus, has been studied mainly in captive groups. The few studies carried out in the wild are on only specific aspects of their behaviour. The aim of this study is to give a preliminary description of the vocal repertoire and a qualitative account of the contextual use of the vocalizations described. Observations were carried out on th ree wild communities, with a total of 68 individuals, for 685 h. No artificial feeding was used at any stage of the study. The vocal repertoire is composed of 15 vocal units and 19 sequences, There is great variability both in the sequences and in the vocal units, and the categories are not always completely discrete. The repertoire is compared to that of captive bonobos described by De Waal, Most sequences are used in various contexts, and for each behaviour there is a complete array of sequences and their variation. The behaviour patterns observed and the sequences uttered by the animals in each context are discussed, Copyright (C) 1999 S. Karger AG, Basel.
