However, our understanding of how the nature and quality of social relationshipsrelates to the use and evolution of communication is limited by a lack of directly comparable methodsacross multiple levels of analysis. Here, we analysed observational data from 111 wild groupsbelonging to 26 non-human primate species, to test how vocal communication relates to dominancestyle (the strictness with which a dominance hierarchy is enforced, ranging from{\textquoteleft}despotic{\textquoteright}to{\textquoteleft}tolerant{\textquoteright}). At the individual-level, we found that dominant individuals who were more tolerantvocalized at a higher rate than their despotic counterparts. This indicates that tolerance within arelationship may place pressure on the dominant partner to communicate more during socialinteractions. At the species-level, however, despotic species exhibited a larger repertoire of hierarchy-related vocalizations than their tolerant counterparts. Findings suggest primate signals are used andevolve in tandem with the nature of interactions that characterize individuals{\textquoteright}social relationships.}}, journal = {{Royal Society Open Science}}, volume = {8}, eid = {210873}, }
