NPR: Scientists Say These Monkeys Use An ‘Accent’ To Communicate With Their Foe

Ecological PhD student Tainara Sobroza studies the relationship between pied tamarins and red-handed tamarin monkeys in the Brazilian Amazon. Sobroza’s research has observed vocalizations used as territorial indicators between these tiny primates. Pied tamarins face extinction due to urbanization and loss of habitat. But they have another threat to their survival: the red-handed tamarins. Both exploit similar resources and interactions between the species have known to be quite violent. However, through the use of “territorial calls” the rival species know they are getting too close for comfort and help prevent violent interaction. Scientists analyzed these calls and noticed a change in pitch and volume to allow for sounds to travel further through dense rainforests; and interestingly, how the change in pitch to each species is comparable to human accents.
