What do you hear what do you say? Ultrasonic calls as signals during play fighting in rats
Abstract
Communication during play fighting can be crucial in facilitating and sustaining contact. As juvenile rats play mostly in the dark, visual signals are unlikely to fulfill this function. However, during play, rats have a variety of ultrasonic calls that are emitted and there is growing evidence that some of these calls may provide a means of communication. Particular calls are associated with particular actions and in the present paper we show that specific calls by one rat changes the probability of the actions taken by another. We have found that some calls appear to act as a means of sustaining the animals’ playful mood and so facilitate the occurrence of play, some calls ensure that the interaction remains playful and so avoid escalation to aggression, and some appear to promote reciprocal exchanges and so ensure that playful contact continues.

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.
