摘要:

普通狨猴(Callithrix jacchus)是一种叫声丰富、声音交流复杂且行为高度社会化的昼行性非人灵长类动物,具有繁殖能力强和发育周期短的特性,基因背景相似的多胞胎为研究内外因素对叫声发育的影响提供了理想的实验动物模型。普通狨猴出生首日即可发出该物种成年个体的大部分叫声,出生后2个月内幼猴叫声会发生显著变化。与父母有叫声互动的个体,其叫声发育速度快;而隔离饲养的个体则表现出叫声发育延迟。因此,遗传因素为普通狨猴叫声提供初始框架,而后天的社会互动则对其进行精细的校准和优化。此外,生态因素对普通狨猴母幼叫声交流具有重要塑造作用:栖息地特性影响声音传播,捕食风险促进警戒信号演化,社会结构和合作育幼模式为其声音交流提供复杂的社会环境,而资源可得性则直接影响声音信号的强度。作为目前应用最广泛的非人灵长类实验动物之一,普通狨猴在社会引导式声音学习模式上表现出更接近人类的特征,这为比较非人灵长类动物与人类在声音发育及交流机制上的异同,推动语言进化及发声障碍等医学问题的研究提供了宝贵的动物模型。本文聚焦普通狨猴叫声发育及其生态适应性演化,并强调其作为实验动物在医学研究中的独特价值,期望为非人灵长类动物声音交流的演化生物学研究及人类语言障碍的转化医学探索提供理论框架与实验参考。

Abstract:

Callithrix jacchus is a diurnal non-human primate with elaborate vocal repertoires, sophisticated acoustic communication, and highly social behaviours. Boasting high fecundity and a short developmental cycle, this species regularly bears litters of genetically similar siblings, rendering it a powerful laboratory model to disentangle how intrinsic and extrinsic factors shape vocal development. Newborn Callithrix jacchus are capable of producing the majority of species-typical adult vocalizations on postnatal day 1, and profound remodelling of infant vocal repertoires takes place over the first two postnatal months. Juveniles with frequent vocal interactions with their parents exhibit faster vocal development, while socially isolated individuals show delayed vocal maturation. Therefore, genetic factors lay the foundational template for vocal production in Callithrix jacchus, with postnatal social interactions serving to further calibrate and refine these vocal signals. Additionally, ecological factors strongly shape mother–infant vocal communication in this species. Habitat characteristics govern sound propagation; predation risk fuels the evolutionary specialization of alarm vocalizations; social structure and cooperative breeding create intricate social contexts for acoustic exchange; and resource availability directly regulates the intensity of vocal signals. As one of the most widely used non-human primate laboratory animals, Callithrix jacchus displays remarkably human-like traits in socially guided vocal learning, which renders it an invaluable experimental model for dissecting the convergent and divergent mechanisms governing vocal development and communication across non-human primates and humans, while also advancing investigations into language evolution and clinical voice disorders. This paper focuses on vocal development and ecological adaptive evolution of Callithrix jacchus, and underscores its distinctive advantages as a laboratory model for biomedical research. It is expected to offer a theoretical framework and an experimental reference for evolutionary investigations of acoustic communication in non-human primates, as well as translational research on human speech disorders.
