...Sharon Gursky; K.A.I. Nekaris Auditory, visual and olfactory cues play varying roles in non-human primate communication, and these systems have been intensively studied over the last several decades. The use of vocalisations as a primary mode of communication has been the focus of much research...

This conclusion is unjustified: the null hypothesis of no adaptation, that the absence...
