The territorial songs of gibbons

Primate males often make loud vocalizations that are thought to have functions such as the declaration of territory. The best example is the territorial songs of gibbons. The males and females sing alone, but it becomes a duet when, as a pair, they defend their territory together. However, the territorial song of the gibbons is genetically determined, and does not change through learning.
