Abstract
Limited data are available on production of ultrasonic vocalisations (USV) by common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). Moreover, in contrast to rats and mice, nothing is known about USV and their potential use as indicator for their emotional state. To fill in this knowledge gap, audible and USV, were
recorded during different settings. Analysis of the data shows that USV is part of the normal vocal repertoire of marmosets and are extensions of audible vocalisations. We conclude that for common marmosets USV do not provide additional information compared to audible vocalisations to assess their emotional state.
