An acoustic analysis of agonistic sounds in wild cheetahs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cheetah ranks among the more vocal felids, and is above all a prominent purrer. However, the cheetah also produces a wide variety of other sounds, and this paper takes a closer look at a category of sounds produced by wild cheetahs, agonistic vocalizations, that can be divided into moaning, growling, hissing and spitting sounds.

Courtship and agonistic sounds by the cichlid fish Pseudotropheus zebra.
Courtship and agonistic interactions in an African cichlid species present a richer diversity of acoustic stimuli than previously reported. Male cichlids, including those from the genus Pseudotropheus (P.), produce low frequency short pulsed sounds during courtship. Sounds emitted by P. zebra males in the early stages of courtship (during quiver) were found to be significantly longer and with a...
متن کاملAgonistic Behavior and Acoustic Communication
Sounds are uttered in agonistic contexts by representatives of 30+ families of fishes but this number mainly reflects the scientific expenditure and less so the actual distribution of soundproducing families. Sounds are emitted in numerous contexts: distressful or disturbancesituations, e.g. being attacked or grabbed by predators, competitive feeding, and competition for space and sometimes mat...
متن کاملA comparative acoustic analysis of purring in four cheetahs
This paper reports results from a comparative analysis of purring in four tame cheetahs. The results exhibited individual variation for relative phase duration and number of cycles per phase, while egressive phases were louder and had higher fundamental frequency in all four cheetahs.

Objectives: To evaluate different signal-processing algorithms for tactile identification of environmental sounds in a monitoring aid for the deafblind. Two men and three women, sensorineurally deaf or profoundly hearing impaired with experience of vibratory experiments, age 22-36 years. Methods: A closed set of 45 representative environmental sounds were processed using two transposing (TRH...
متن کاملBehaviours Associated with Acoustic Communication in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
BACKGROUND Sound production is widespread among fishes and accompanies many social interactions. The literature reports twenty-nine cichlid species known to produce sounds during aggressive and courtship displays, but the precise range in behavioural contexts is unclear. This study aims to describe the various Oreochromis niloticus behaviours that are associated with sound production in order t...
