本研究采用实时记录技术分析了BALB/c小鼠在异性相遇过程中的呼唤活动。光谱分析揭示了不同类型的呼叫，这些呼叫可能与精确的射精前行为序列有关。此外，观察到雌性的发情周期影响发声模式。在这项研究中使用的记录技术提供了许多改进的小鼠在交配过程中调用行为的表征描述，并预计将在许多啮齿类动物的声音通信的研究是有用的。
Real-time recording technology was used in this study to analyse calling activity during heterosexual encounters in BALB/c mice. The spectrographic analyses revealed distinct types of calls that could be linked to a precise pre-ejaculatory behavioural sequence. In addition, the oestrous cycle of the female was observed to influence the vocalization emission pattern. The recording technology used in this study provides numerous improvements in the characterization description of mice calling behaviour during mating and is expected to be useful in studies of vocal communication in many rodent species.
