Monitoring the increase in laryngeal pressure, which is needed for vocal production, allows detection of transitions from quiet respiration to vocalization-supporting respiration. Characterization of these transitions could be used to identify preparation for vocal emission and to examine the probability of it manifesting into an actual vocal production event. Specifically, overlaying the subject's respiration with conspecific calls can highlight events of call initiation and suppression, as a means of signalling coordination and avoiding jamming. Here, we present a thermal imaging-based methodology for synchronized respiration and vocalization monitoring of free-ranging meerkats. The sensitivity of this methodology is sufficient for detecting transient changes in the subject's respiration associated with the exertion of vocal production. The differences in respiration are apparent not only during the vocal output, but also prior to it, marking the potential time frame of the respiratory preparation for calling. A correlation between conspecific calls with elongation of the focal subject's respiration cycles could be related to fluctuations in attention levels or in the motivation to reply. This framework can be used for examining the capability for enhanced respiration control in animals during modulated and complex vocal sequences, detecting \u2018failed\u2019 vocalization attempts and investigating the role of respiration cues in the regulation of vocal interactions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.243474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,10]],"date-time":"2022-02-10T10:26:07Z","timestamp":1644488767000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Vocalization-associated respiration patterns: thermography-based monitoring and detection of preparation for calling"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"225","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1456-9789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vlad","family":"Demartsev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, 78464 Konstanz, Germany"},{"name":"Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 78467 Konstanz, Germany"},{"name":"Kalahari Research Centre, 8467 Van Zylsrus, Northern Cape, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8787-5667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta B.","family":"Manser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kalahari Research Centre, 8467 Van Zylsrus, Northern Cape, South Africa"},{"name":"Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Interdisciplinary Center for the Evolution of Language, University of Zurich, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6591-6760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Glenn J.","family":"Tattersall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Sciences, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, Canada, L2S 3A1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022031008465401600_JEB243474C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2432","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00360.2014","article-title":"Decoding stimulus duration from neural responses in the auditory midbrain","volume":"112","author":"Aubie","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
