• Contextual variation in chimpanzee pant hoots and its implications for referential communication (2005, background): “Although they can serve a variety of different functions depending on the details of species’ ecology and social organization ( Wich & Nunn 2002 ), the most frequently cited functions generally involve either attracting or repelling conspecifics, or both.”
• Did Neanderthals and other early humans sing? Seeking the biological roots of music in the territorial advertisements of primates, lions, hyenas, and wolves (2009, background): “Phylogenetic reconstruction of these long-range calls in 158 primate species indicates the presence of male long-distance calls is the ancestral state (Wich & Nunn, 2002).”
• Sexual Selection in the Loud Calls of Male Primates: Signal Content and Function (2006, background): “Further, phylogenetic reconstructions indicate the presence of loud calls as an ancestral characteristic in primates (Wich and Nunn, 2002).”
