This data publication contains digitized audio files of field recordings of vervet monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) calls collected by Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney in 1977 and 1978. The original recordings were made on 1/8 inch reel-to-reel tapes, and were digitized at LDC using the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. This publication contains downsampled versions of the recordings.
From 2001 through 2004, Robert Seyfarth and one of his students annotated the recordings for the following fields: start time, end time, type (Bout, Commentary, etc.), recording date and time, caller ID, recipient ID, context, call type and remarks. This publication contains annotation files that can be viewed with the accompanying software, or with spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel.
