Monkey ; Primates , Cercopithecus , nictitans martini
individual calls did not qualify as vehicles of semantic content, these males produced structurally unique call sequences that provided sufficient information for receivers to select appropriate antipredator responses

putty-nosed monkeys ; Primates , Cercopithecus , nictitans
Illustrates that non-human primates are able to combine multiple vocalizations into different sequences that may hold a specific meaning.
