There is no doubt that different factors determine the evolutionary trajectory of a species' communication abilities. Beyond habitat, social life is likely a selection pressure. The hypothesis positing that living in a complex social system requires complex communication skills has gained ground. However, the measures used classically to tackle this question (i.e. number of call types and group size) fail to capture some of the subtleties of the evolution of communication systems. Integrative approaches comparing closely related species to highlight the possible relationship between the characteristics of their social systems, their ecological niche and associated vocal communication systems are required to further our understanding of this...
