Acoustical variability in species-specific acoustical repertoire

["Bruno L. Giordano" <bruno.giordano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

I am interested in works that compare quantitatively the acoustical
variability of the sound signals produced by different animals.

In other words, do we have a quantitative measure of the extent to which
the different chirps that crickets can produce constitute a corpus of
acoustical signals that is less (I expect) variable than, say, the 
corpus of vocal signals monkeys or humans can produce?

Thank you.

Best,

	Bruno
