</font><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">A fundamental problem in the analysis
of calls produced by animals is how to analyze data whose structures are poorly
understood. We examine this problem in
two different contexts. In the first, we
ask the question of whether or not recent work on the primate preauditory
and/or auditory cortex can help to determine acoustic landmarks, or
segmentations, that may permit the identification of potential acoustic units,
within primate calls. The ability to
detect such landmarks could provide new methods for approaching animal
communication. Second, we discuss a
method for providing preliminary assays of the number of marine mammal species
present in environments where species assemblages are not well studied. Methods of preliminary assessment can enable
better planning for the use of expensive resources such as visual surveys and
provide insights into how animals use a study area spatially and
temporally. <span></span></font></span></p>
