Acoustic analysis of the budgerigar vocal repertoire [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984 Previous ethological studies of the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) have provided a functional description of the vocal repertoire [B. F. Brockway, Anim. Behav. 23, 294–324 (1964)]. The present study describes the acoustic structure of each of these complex vocalizations with an emphasis on the contact call.

Social complexity parallels vocal complexity: a comparison of three nonhuman primate species
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Social factors play a key role in the structuring of vocal repertoires at the individual level, notably in nonhuman primates. Some authors suggested that, at the species level too, social life may have driven the evolution of communicative complexity ...

Western Gorilla Vocal Repertoire and Contextual Use of Vocalizations
Ethology, 2013 AbstractDespite considerable interest in the vocal communication of non‐human primates and its possible relevance to theories of language evolution, we know surprisingly little about how vocal communication varies between closely related species inhabiting differing environments.
