摘 要:Signals within animals’vocal communication are considered functional referential and *** in the absence of the context,receivers are expected to acquire the information of calls and respond specificallyWhereas the framework was supported by plenty of evidence,its exhaustivity in describing all animal vocalisations has been ***,we investigated the vocal repertoire of a cooperatively breeding species,Azure-winged Magpie(Cyanopica cyanus),to present evidence for referential *** results showed that Azure-winged Magpies had a relatively large vocal repertoire,consisting of twelve distinct *** calls were associated with the context including movement,begging for food,contact,vigilance against predators,***,even the predator-specific alarm calls would induce various responses of *** implies that multiple pieces of information are involved in the vocalisation,which could be utilised by the receiver to select an appropriate response based on the *** study gives a detailed description of the context and function of the vocal repertoire in Azure-winged Magpies,laying the foundation for further investigation on the developmental mechanisms of bird *** study also suggests that the referential signals of animal vocalisations may not be limited to the context-specific responses of receivers and need to be discussed from a broader perspective.
