摘　　要：Introduction Understanding the processes involved in how and why animals com- municate has long been fascinating to scientists （Darwin 1871 ）. This endeavor plays a key role in the pursuit of reaching a better compre- hension both of the rules involved in organizing the animal societies around us （Freeberg et al. 2012） and of the evolutionary bases under- lying our own vocal communication system： human language （Fitch 2010）. Moreover, in recent years, the type and function of informa- tion conveyed by animal vocalizations have also attracted research interest in the field of ecology （see Sueur and Farina 2015）.
