The evolution of sociality is related to many ecological factors that act on animals as selective forces, thus driving the formation groups. Group size will depend payoffs group living. Social Complexity Hypothesis for Communication (SCHC) predicts increases in be complexity communication among individuals.

Abstract Contact calls are used to promote cohesion among individuals that live in social groups. Capybaras very gregarious and often vocalize. This species emits a vocalization known as click, which has been observed during aggregating foraging behaviors, suggesting contact or monitoring call function.

ABSTRACT When separated from their mother and other group members, guinea pig Cavia porcellus pups emit distinctive high pitched whistles. To determine if these vocalisations are individually distinctive, we recorded the whistles of isolated pups, 8 to 10 days old, subjected acoustical parameters discriminant analysis. The results reclassification accuracy were higher than random assignment, indicating existence individual differences. Individual pup did not differ one another by any single...

The vocal repertoire of some animal species has been considered a non-invasive tool to predict distress reactivity. In rats ultrasound emissions were reported as indicator. Capybaras[ was recently and seems have calls, but this not yet confirmed. Thus, in order check if poor state welfare linked calls the capybara repertoire, aim study track presence 11 animals under three conditions: 1) unrestrained; 2) intermediately restrained, 3) highly restrained. identified frequencies range 31.8±3.5...

Abstract We took the rare opportunity to observe and quantify spontaneous allosuckling in a captive group of Cavia aperea captured wild (a male, two females their offspring). recorded behavior interactions between all offspring each adults days 6 20 life.
