Female giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) chirps advertise the caller's fertile phase [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Although female mammal vocal behaviour is known to advertise fertility, to date, no non-human mammal study has shown that the acoustic structure of female calls varies significantly around their fertile period. Here, we used a combination of hormone measurements and acoustic analyses to determine whether female giant panda chirps have the potential to ...
