Dog-like canids can produce a low (f0) and a high (g0) fundamental frequency simultaneously. In contrast, fox-like canids are only capable of producing the low fundamental frequency (f0). Using a comparative anatomical approach for revealing macroscopic structures potentially responsible for canid biphonation, we investigated the vocal anatomy for 4 (1 male, 3 female) captive dholes (<italic>Cuon alpinus</italic>) and for 2 (1 male, 1 female) wild red fox (<italic>Vulpes vulpes</italic>). In addition, we analyzed the acoustic structure of vocalizations in the same dholes that served postmortem as specimens for the anatomical investigation. All study dholes produced both high-frequency and biphonic calls. The anatomical reconstructions revealed that the vocal morphologies of the dhole are very similar to those of the red fox. These results suggest that the high-frequency and biphonic calls in dog-like canids can be produced without specific anatomical adaptations of the sound-producing structures. We discuss possible production modes for the high-frequency and biphonic calls involving laryngeal and nasal structures.</p></div></front><back><div1

Dog-like canids can produce a low (f0) and a high (g0) fundamental frequency simultaneously. In contrast, fox-like canids are only capable of producing the low fundamental frequency (f0). Using a comparative anatomical approach for revealing macroscopic structures potentially responsible for canid biphonation, we investigated the vocal anatomy for 4 (1 male, 3 female) captive dholes (<italic>Cuon alpinus</italic>) and for 2 (1 male, 1 female) wild red fox (<italic>Vulpes vulpes</italic>). In addition, we analyzed the acoustic structure of vocalizations in the same dholes that served postmortem as specimens for the anatomical investigation. All study dholes produced both high-frequency and biphonic calls. The anatomical reconstructions revealed that the vocal morphologies of the dhole are very similar to those of the red fox. These results suggest that the high-frequency and biphonic calls in dog-like canids can be produced without specific anatomical adaptations of the sound-producing structures. We discuss possible production modes for the high-frequency and biphonic calls involving laryngeal and nasal structures.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>This work was supported by Russian Scientific Foundation (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.rscf.ru/">http://www.rscf.ru/</ext-link>) funding to IAV and EVV.

In red fox, a detailed analysis of 12,964 whines recorded from 75 individuals did not reveal one single biphonation [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>].</p><p>In domestic dogs, the range of the low fundamental frequency (f0) is 0.4–1.4 kHz and the range of the high fundamental frequency (g0) is 3.1–11 kHz [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1A</xref>). In the dhole, the range of f0 is 0.5–1.4 kHz and the range of g0 is 5.5–10.7 kHz. In red fox, the range of f0 is 0.32–1.21 kHz, while g0 is missing [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>] (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1C</xref>). The canid high-frequency calls are termed squeaks, whereas the low-frequency calls are historically termed whines in dogs and in red fox [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>] but yaps in the dhole [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Dhole yaps are much shorter and sound differently compared to dog and fox whines. Biphonation takes place when the high-frequency squeak and the low-frequency whine or yap occur simultaneously. The simultaneously produced g0 and f0 interact with appearing additional frequency bands, representing linear combinations of the original frequencies. The additional frequency bands can be calculated by the formula n*f0 + m*g0, where n and m are integer multiples of f0 and g0 [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1B</xref>).

In canids, the presence or absence of vocal membranes has not yet been anatomically investigated. At the same time, former bioacoustical studies revealed biphonation in the total of 14 subject dholes [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] and in 8 of the 9 subject domestic dogs [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>].

These authors experimentally obtained from deeply anesthetized domestic dogs the oral whines and the biphonic whine-squeaks with g0 ranging of 3.2–3.7 kHz. A cineradiographic study of a non-anesthetized individual domestic dog revealed that during whining, it kept its mouth closed and lowered the soft palate to secure position of the laryngeal entrance in the nasopharynx, thereby passing the entire exhalatory air flow through the nose [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>].

For acoustic recordings (frequency range 40–15,000 Hz, distance to animals 2–8 m, after-recording digitizing at 48 kHz), we used a SONY WM-D6C cassette tape recorder (Sony Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and a Sennheiser K6-ME64 microphone (Sennheiser electronic, Wedemark, Germany).

The oral vt length was 172 mm in the adult male and 162 mm in the adult female.

The nasal vt continued rostrally between the base of the skull dorsally and the soft palate ventrally. After having passed the choanae, the nasal vt proceeded through the osseous nasal cavity along the ventral, common and middle nasal duct. During this passage its dorsoventral diameter expanded from about 7 mm at the choanae to about 17 mm at the ventral nasal concha and then decreased again to about 11 mm towards the nostril. In the flexible nostril region, the nasal vt coursed along the straight and alar fold before ending at the nasal opening (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g004" ref-type="fig">Fig 4</xref>).

The distance between the root of the tongue and the epiglottis was about 5 mm. The resting angle of the epiglottis relative to the longitudinal axis of the larynx was around 45°. The dhole larynx had a typical mammalian vocal fold with a free and flexible rostral portion ending in a sharp edge. This rostrally directed edge of the vocal fold was supported by a vocal ligament and laterally covered by the thyroarytenoid muscle. Vocal membranes, i.e. thin and flexible rostral extensions of the vocal folds, were not detected. The vocal fold extended between the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage dorsally and the mid-dorsal surface of the thyroid cartilage ventrally. Dorsoventral length of the vocal fold was 16.4 mm in the adult male and 15.5 mm in the adult female. Its angle, relative to the longitudinal axis of the larynx, was around 115°.

The LLV was accommodated by the lateral, concave surface of the cuneiform process. The sharp medial edge of its caudally directed opening made up the vestibular fold that was situated 4–5 mm rostral to the vocal fold. The vestibular fold extended between the ventral end of the cuneiform process dorsally and the mid-dorsal surface of the thyroid cartilage ventrally, 1–2 mm rostral to the ventral attachment of the vocal fold. The caudally directed edge of the vestibular fold was supported by a vestibular ligament of corresponding length. Dorsoventral length of the vestibular fold was 6.7 mm in the adult male and 7 mm in the adult female. Its angle, relative to the longitudinal axis of the larynx, was almost the same as that of the vocal fold. However, in contrast to the latter, its sharp edge was directed caudally (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>). The resting dimensions of the right lateral laryngeal ventricle were 9.85 mm in dorsoventral height and 6.0 mm in rostrocaudal length in the adult male. The vestibular fold occupied a slightly more medial position (about 1 mm) than the vocal fold. The major portion of the LLV, except its caudalmost narrow ‘neck’, was not covered laterally by the uniform thyroarytenoid muscle (<xref rid="pone.0146330.s006" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="sec012"><title>Laryngeal cartilages</title><p>The dhole larynx comprised 9 cartilages when counting the paired cuneiform processes as separate cartilages. However, two of the cartilages were very small. Rostrally, there was the unpaired epiglottis, the lateral process of which was connected to the cuneiform process within the aryepiglottic fold. The paired cuneiform processes, about mid-way of their caudal contour, were punctually connected to the rostral edge of the arytenoid cartilages. Therefore, the cuneiform “process” was more like a separate cartilage than a mere appendage of the arytenoid cartilage. Both the dorsal branch of the cuneiform process and the corniculate process of the arytenoid cartilage were set against the longitudinal axis of the larynx at the angle of about 45°. The ventral branch of the cuneiform process was positioned parallel to the rostral edge of the vocal fold, its ventral knob-like end serving as a dorsal attachment point for the vestibular fold (Figs <xref rid="pone.0146330.g006" ref-type="fig">6</xref> and <xref rid="pone.0146330.g007" ref-type="fig">7</xref>). The paired arytenoid cartilages had a deep incisure dorsally, between the corniculate process and the medial process. In this incisure, the small, rod-like sesamoid cartilage was embedded in the two transverse arytenoid muscles where they met in the dorsal midline. Caudally adjacent, the small, trapezoid-shaped, interarytenoid cartilage was intercalated between the medial processes of the left and right arytenoid cartilages. The region of the LLV, including the vestibular and vocal folds, was ventrally and laterally covered by the unpaired thyroid cartilage.

In contrast, yaps of dholes and whines of domestic dogs were produced with their mouth open. When dholes or dogs shifted audibly from the high to the low frequency, a slight opening of the mouth could be observed. Several squeaks of individual dholes and dogs were accompanied by a tensioning of the wings of the nose. During the dhole squeaks, we observed an additional tensioning of ventral neck muscles in the area of the larynx.</p><p>Discussion</p><p>The laryngeal morphologies of the dhole and red fox lack conspicuous differences. At least, our comparison failed to reveal any specific anatomical adaptations of the dhole larynx to the production of high-frequency and biphonic vocalizations. There are two possible explanations for this result: 1) a typical canid larynx is capable of producing the low-frequency calls, high-frequency calls and biphonic calls without particular anatomical adaptations or 2) the presence or the lack of high-frequency and biphonic components in the acoustic repertoire appears to depend on other, non-laryngeal features. Below we discuss potential mechanisms for production of g0 and biphonations in the dhole based of main anatomical findings of this study. We also connect our findings with published data on auditory and social differences between dog-like and fox-like canids.</p></sec></sec><sec id="sec019"><title>Auditory and social differences between dog-like and fox-like canids</title><p>We failed to detect conspicuous differences between the dhole and red fox laryngeal morphologies. However, only the dholes can produce the second fundamental frequency (g0) and biphonation. If red foxes are also physically capable of producing g0 and biphonation, why these components lack in their vocal repertoires? The answer can be found in different auditory capacities between the dog-like and fox-like canids. The overall frequency ranges for hearing are similar in dog-like canids and in fox-like canids. The high-frequency cut-off range is 41–47 kHz in the domestic dog, depending on the dog breed [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>], whereas it is 48–51 kHz in red fox [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>], 20 kHz in the kit fox [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>] and 16 kHz in the Arctic fox [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>]. However, the peak hearing sensitivity for the dog-like canids is shifted remarkably to higher frequencies. For instance, in dachshund dogs, the peak hearing sensitivity is at 8 kHz [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>] and it corresponds well to the g0 values of 6.5–7 kHz in this dog pedigree (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1A</xref>) [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. At the same time, the peak hearing sensitivity of similar-sized red fox is substantially lower, at 2 kHz [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>] or at 4 kHz [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]. Other species of fox-like canids display similarly low peak hearing sensitivities, e.g. 2–4 kHz in the kit fox <italic>Vulpes macrotis</italic> [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>] and about 4 kHz in the Arctic fox [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>]. Further support for the low-frequency peak of audition in red fox comes from the findings that the malleus of the auditory ossicles is heavier in red fox than in the dog [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. A higher mass of the malleus is indicative of improved low-frequency hearing, as soon as the high-frequency hearing in air is constrained by the ossicle inertia [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref053" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref055" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>].</p><p>The lower peak hearing sensitivity in red fox is probably related to their predation habits. With such hearing acute at lower frequencies, red foxes can detect their small rodent prey even when it is silent, based on the low-frequency noises resulting from the prey almost restless movements [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>].</p><p>Pack hunting in the dhole [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>] is associated with their obligate sociality [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref062" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref064" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>], whereas hunting small muroid prey by fox-like canids does not need in cooperation with conspecifics [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>].

Dhole biphonic yap-squeaks better discriminate individuals compared to either yaps or squeaks alone [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] and better encode the position of a caller relative to a listener owing to different propagation of the low and high fundamental frequencies [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref068" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>]. This allows easy and quick recognition of vocalizing individuals along to directionality of their approach. By contrast, red foxes are social only during the breeding season [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref069" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>]. Consistently, the producing high percentages of biphonic calls African wild dogs are obligate social [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>], whereas polar foxes, which are not known to produce biphonations, are only facultatively social [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref070" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref071" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>]. Thus, selection pressures favoring production and perception of biphonations appears to be present in dog-like canids but lacking in fox-like canids.</p></sec><sec id="sec020"><title>Potential sources for high-frequency and biphonic vocalization</title><sec id="sec021"><title>Vortex shedding</title><p>We identified narrowings in the nasal vt as potential sites for origin of g0. The g0 in dhole calls may arise as a result of vortex shedding during exhalation at adjustable narrowings in the flexible rostral parts of the nasal vt. Before reaching the nostrils, an exhalatory/phonatory airstream from the larynx has to pass the flexible region rostral to the osseous nose parts. In this region, the straight and the alar folds, which are supported by flexible nasal cartilages, might be suitable structures for g0 production (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g010" ref-type="fig">Fig 10</xref>). Approaching the two flexible folds by muscular action can be expected to create an obstruction in the rostral nasal air passage during exhalation through the nose that is sufficient to initiate vortex shedding. Depending on the degree of narrowing, the frequencies produced by this non-laryngeal mechanism may vary to a certain extent. In this case, a coupled and simultaneous adjusting of both nostrils would be necessary for producing a single g0. As evidenced by cineradiography, domestic dogs produce their high-frequency squeaks through the nose, with a lowered soft palate and with the laryngeal entrance protruding through the intra-pharyngeal ostium into the nasopharynx, i.e. with an ‘intra-narially positioned’ epiglottis [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>]. Indirect evidence comes from the acoustic similarity between high-frequency squeaks of dholes and their imitation by human whistles (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g012" ref-type="fig">Fig 12</xref>). The production of whistles, although emitted through the mouth, involves vortex shedding, and the created frequency depends on the amount of narrowing of the lips [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>]. Further support for this mechanism in the dhole is provided by the identification of vortices at vt narrow apertures as a source of the 22- and 50- kHz vocalizations in rats <italic>Rattus norvegicus</italic> [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref073" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref074" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>].</p><fig id="pone.0146330.g012" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0146330.g012</object-id><label>Fig 12</label><caption><title>Spectrogram illustrating the acoustic similarity between the high-frequency squeaks of a dhole (A) and the whistles of a human (B).</title><p>(A) A natural series of a captive male dhole.

This mechanism of biphonation might be relevant for the dhole, as a narrow laryngeal vestibule enhances the source-tract interactions and amplifies glottal instabilities [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>]. The sound wave, originating from these vortices, will propagate from its point of origin both forward and backward along the vt, i.e. towards the nostrils and towards the larynx. This can be expected to result in the appearance of a biphonic sound.</p></sec><sec id="sec022"><title>Vestibular folds</title><p>The production of g0 may result from high-frequency oscillations of the short vestibular folds that were about half the length of the vocal folds in the dhole, as in red fox and in domestic dogs [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]. Considering the small length of the vestibular folds, they should potentially be able to produce a second fundamental frequency g0 that is pronouncedly higher than the low fundamental frequency f0 produced with the two times longer vocal folds. Production of the high frequency oscillations would require a tensioning of the vestibular folds. However, in contrast to the domestic dog [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>], the thyroarytenoid muscle of the dhole is not subdivided into a ventricularis and a vocalis muscle (<xref rid="pone.0146330.s006" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>) and, thus, the lateral laryngeal ventricle (LLV) is not flanked rostrally and caudally by the two portions of the thyroarytenoid muscle. As a consequence, control of the vestibular fold by a separate ventricularis muscle cannot occur in the dhole. However, control of the vestibular fold’s tension may be achieved by alternative mechanisms. As the basic scaffolding of the larynx, consisting of the laryngeal cartilages and their inter-connecting ligaments, is a complex elastic system, any muscular contraction will cause a deviation from its intermediate resting position to some kind of “tensed” position and will return to the resting position after muscle contraction has ended. Considering the connection between the arytenoid cartilage and the cuneiform process, any positional change of the arytenoid cartilage will entail some change in position of the cuneiform process as well. Thus, the contraction of the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle alone or joint contractions of this muscle and the transverse arytenoid muscle may not only narrow the glottic cleft (<xref rid="pone.0146330.s006" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>), but also exert some pulling on the cuneiform process and, thereby, may assist in regulating tension of the vestibular fold. As the dorsal end of the cuneiform process is connected with the lateral process of the epiglottis, any movements of the epiglottis will also influence the position of the cuneiform process. Ventral depression of the epiglottis by contraction of the hyoepiglottic muscle, as it may occur during a call, will pull the dorsal end of the cuneiform process ventrally and, thereby, pull its ventral end dorsally. This can be expected to apply tension to the vestibular fold and, thus, to influence its oscillation frequency [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>].</p><p>However, oscillations involving the vestibular folds are usually located in the low-frequency range, both in excised canine larynges (90–93 Hz) [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] and during vocal exercises of humans (72 Hz) [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref075" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>]. In our study, the g0 frequencies of the dholes were high, suggesting that oscillations of the vestibular folds are not involved in g0 production.</p></sec><sec id="sec023"><title>Knife effect</title><p>In contrast to the vocal folds, the edges of the vestibular folds are directed caudally and, therefore, are exposed to the exhalatory air stream from the glottis towards the mouth or nose in an opposite way (the edge is hit first and the rest of the fold later). This configuration of a sharp edge facing a counter-current air flow of relatively high speed may produce turbulent noise by the creation of vortices in the direction of the air flow, a principle called ‘edge tone’ [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>].</p><p>In addition, the LLVs, the openings of which are exposed to the exhalatory air flow laterally adjacent to the vestibular folds (<xref rid="pone.0146330.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>), may separate a narrow band of frequencies from that turbulent noise and concentrate almost all sound energy on these frequencies [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>]. This frequency band will correspond to the current resonance frequencies of the LLVs. These resonance frequencies of the LLVs can be expected to vary considerably with relevant parameters. The volume of the LLVs may vary in accordance with the amount of inflation, which will effect different resonance frequencies of the LLVs. Size changes of the LLVs may effect some kind of tuning of their resonance frequencies. Different degrees of inflation may be regulated by tensioning and relaxing of the vestibular folds. Contractions of the thyroarytenoid muscle, that covers the opening and ‘neck’ of the LLV laterally, will decisively influence the tension of the vestibular ligament and the size of the entrance to the LLVs. The angle of the vestibular fold relative to the exhalatory air flow might vary as a consequence of differing positions of the ventral end of the cuneiform process. The variation of these parameters will essentially depend on the contraction status of those muscles operating the position of the arytenoid cartilage and, thereby (indirectly), the position of the cuneiform process (lateral cricoarytenoid muscle, transverse arytenoid muscle) (<xref rid="pone.0146330.s006" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>).</p><p>The LLV could be seen as a functional convergence to a technical variable-frequency oscillator [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref076" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>]. Interestingly, an African domestic dog breed with size-reduced LLVs, the Basenji dog, is incapable of barking and the voice is described as some kind of strange yodeling or not unlike a young cockerel’s first attempt at crowing [<xref rid="pone.0146330.ref077" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>]. This implies the basic significance of the LLVs for the quality of the produced sound as well as the shift of the sound to higher frequencies when the volume of the LLVs decreases.</p></sec><sec id="sec024"><title>Vocal membranes</title><p>All the 4 study dholes were capable of producing g0 and biphonation but none of these specimens possessed vocal membranes on their vocal folds.
