When the trumpet blows: age-sex-related differences in the acoustic properties and contexts of high-frequency vocalizations of free-ranging Asian elephants - Mammalian Biology
To support their wide range of social interactions, elephants have evolved high- and low-frequency sounds for short- and long-distance communication. Our current understanding of elephant vocal commun...
