Abstract
Vocalizations are important carriers for information in animal communication and their composition reaches the most sophisticated level in speech. Besides its role for interindividual communication, the uttering of vocalizations has gained additional functional significance in active sonar systems as, e.g., developed by bats and dolphins. These systems require accurate control of the spectral composition of the emitted echolocation signals and auditory feedback is most probably involved in the control of the motor output.
