Vocal communication was studied in a troop of stumptailed macaques (Macaca arctoides) (n = 35) with a systematic, quantitative approach, and with a particular focus on adults and subadults. The foundation of the research was a descriptive study of the acoustic structures of sounds, the behavior and contexts associated with their use, and the production of vocalizations in relation to gender and social status.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Vocal communication was studied in a troop of stumptailed macaques (Macaca arctoides) (n = 35) with a systematic, quantitative approach, and with a particular focus on adults and subadults. The foundation of the research was a descriptive study of the acoustic structures of sounds, the behavior and contexts associated with their use, and the production of vocalizations in relation to gender and social status.
520 $a 26 vocal types were described for the adults and subadults, 5 of which were rare. Analysis of the vocal expressions of juveniles and infants suggested that they use 11 vocal expressions that are non-overlapping with the adult repertoire. Among adults, significant differences were found in the production of several types of vocalization as a function of gender and also of social rank.
520 $a Several vocalizations appeared to function in the achievement of social goals, rather than reflecting any apparent affective state. Functional aspects of two vocalizations commonly used in affiliative interactions were studied explicitly. Systematic observation of event sequences surrounding production of the vocalizations referred to as CO and GR provided support for the idea that they are used instrumentally to influence the behavior of others. The "coo" vocalizations of macaques, and homologous expressions in other primates, have been widely referred to as "contact calls". This study provided objective evidence that the vocal type CO ("coo") of adult stumptails is associated with an increased probability that another individual will approach to groom or sit in contact with the emitter. Vocal type GR is used when demonstrating interest in another individual's infant. Stumptail mothers can be fiercely aggressive in defending their infants, and infants are treated with great deference in stumptail society. Event sequences surrounding 554 cases of "interest in infants" showed that use of the vocal expression GR was associated with a reduced probability of maternal aggression. Its use appears to promote tolerance of benign social contact with a female's infant. Systematic observation of responses to primate vocal expressions allows a shift in emphasis from viewing vocalizations as expressions of 'internal state' to a greater appreciation of the potential for social manipulation in a wide range of contexts.
