The copulatory vocalizations of female baboons (Papio ursinus) are more complex than those of female gibbons (Hylobates hoolock) or human females. Adult males of all these species begin calling later than the female, but subordinate baboon males do not call. Copulatory vocalizations may serve to mutually stimulate the mating partners or to incite male competition.
雌性狒狒(豚尾狒狒)的交配叫声比雌性长臂猿(白眉长臂猿)或人类女性的交配叫声更为复杂。所有这些物种的成年雄性开始发出叫声的时间都比雌性晚,但从属地位的狒狒雄性不会发出叫声。交配叫声可能有助于相互刺激交配伙伴或引发雄性竞争。
