Rätsel um "Geheimsprache" der Elefanten gelöst

Utl: "Science"-Publikation zur Physik der Infraschall-Stimmproduktion

(PresseBox) (Wien, )
In der aktuellen Ausgabe der Fachzeitschrift "Science" liefert ein internationales ForscherInnenteam unter der Leitung der Stimmforscher und Kognitionsbiologen Christian Herbst, Angela Stöger und Tecumseh Fitch von der Universität Wien einen wichtigen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der Elefantenkommunikation. Sie untersuchten erstmals, wie Elefanten Infraschall-Töne, also extrem tiefe Laute, produzieren können und fanden heraus, dass die Dickhäuter dazu denselben physikalischen Stimmproduktions-Mechanismus wie Menschen verwenden.

Elefanten sind für ihre Infraschall-Töne bekannt, d.h. Schall, dessen Tonhöhe von Menschen nicht mehr wahrgenommen werden kann. Diese extrem tiefen Laute (in der Tonhöhe vergleichbar mit den tiefstmöglichen Tönen von großen Orgeln) ermöglichen es den riesigen Tieren, tpfr fdtq ilkqjlq Bpoqvzsaq tq hrvjitgbaosx.
