Pre-departure vocalizations are often part of coordinating and decision-making procedures.
“So-called 'pre-departure vocalizations' are often part of this coordinating and decision-making procedure.”

Elephants employ a particular type of rumble, the 'let's go' rumble (LGR), within families and bond groups to maintain cohesion and spatial coordination.
“They employ a particular type of rumble, the 'let's go' rumble (LGR) [15], within families and bond groups in order to maintain cohesion and spatial coordination.”

LGRs are distinguished from other low-frequency rumbles based on non-verbal cues, in particular characteristic ear flapping.
“LGRs are distinguished by other low-frequency rumbles based on non-verbal cues, in particular the characteristic ear flapping as presented in [15] .”

“Such vocalizations have been reported in various species, including squirrel monkeys [7], hamadryas baboons [8], white-faced capuchin monkeys [9, 10], red-fronted lemurs [11], gorillas [12], swans [13], wild dogs [14], and elephants [15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
