Chemosensation via olfaction is a critical process underlying social interactions in many
different species. Past studies of olfaction in mammals often have focused on its …

Mice display a wide repertoire of vocalizations that varies with age, sex, and context.
Especially during courtship, mice emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) of high complexity …

Acoustic communication is vital to complex social behaviours such as territorial defence. The
use of ultrasonic vocalizations, particularly in territorial defence by monogamous species …

Mice produce various sounds within the ultrasonic range in social contexts. Although these
sounds are often used as an index of sociability in biomedical research, their biological …

Rodent diversification is associated with a large diversity of species-specific social
vocalizations generated by two distinct laryngeal sound production mechanisms: whistling …

Pair-bonding allows for division of labor across behavioral tasks such as protecting a
territory, caring for pups or foraging for food. However, how these labor divisions are …

Ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) are emitted by mice under certain developmental, social and
behavioral conditions. The analysis of USV can be used as a reliable measure of the …

Studying pup isolation calls of wild rodents provides background for develo** new early-
