Many animals vocalize to communicate. While this vocal communication has been studied
extensively in mammals and birds, far less attention has been paid to reptile vocalizations …

Sea turtle hatchlings are known to vocalize; however, the purpose of these vocalizations is

The search for sound production and its potential function as acoustic communication in
freshwater turtles is a new frontier in chelonian biology, following a report by Giles et …

Recent studies have shown that acoustic signals play an important role in turtle social
behavior and reproduction. We recorded embryos and hatchlings of Lepidochelys kempii …

Sea turtles have been considered the least vocal of living reptiles, but recent studies are
changing this perception. Here, we aimed to investigate the acoustics of hatchlings of …

Until recently, freshwater turtles were thought to be silent reptiles, neither vocalizing nor
