Proposed Expansion

[edit]

Expand article to discuss all animal mating calls rather than just songs in particular, especially since "song" is not a technically defined term in the scientific literature. This would include vocalizations not generally considered "songs" such as frog calls and mechanical calls such as bird sonations. Will also include a discussion of the relevance to sexual selection and evolution, and possibly its role in speciation. Some sources on these topics:

- Thinking of adding sections on function of animal song, anatomy of sound production, evolutionary pressures & speciation, social transmission and learning. Introduction also needs citations and appears to be directly copied from a book ("The Music Sound"), so should be edited to avoid plagiarism.
