Animal vocal communication is often diverse and structured. Yet, the information concealed in animal vocalizations remains elusive. Several studies have shown that animal calls convey information about their emitter and the context. Often, these studies focus on specific types of calls, as it is rarely possible to probe an entire vocal repertoire at once. In this study, we continuously monitored Egyptian fruit bats for months, recording audio and video around-the-clock. We analyzed almost 15,000 vocalizations, which accompanied the everyday interactions of the bats, and were all directed toward specific individuals, rather than broadcast. We found that bat vocalizations carry ample information about the identity of the emitter, the context of the call, the behavioral response to the call, and even the call's addressee. Our results underline the importance of studying the mundane, pairwise, directed, vocal interactions of animals.Many animal species use vocal communication 1 , but the chaotic nature of the acoustics of these vocalizations often complicates their cataloging into clearly divided types and contexts 2 . Understanding the encapsulated information in animal vocalizations is central to the study of sociality, communication, and language evolution. Yet, in the research of nonhuman animals, the purpose and meaning of the vocal message often remain obscure. Researchers of animal communication, seeking homology to semantics, may relate behavioral observations to acoustic measurements, and thus reveal some of the information content of vocal expressions. Indeed, several studies have described cases of vocalizations as functionally referential, i.e. signals which are both specific to a certain context and elicit an appropriate response by a receiver 3-5 . However, the requisite for a specific response might be too strict, ignoring many other information bearing vocalizations. Many vocalizations evoke a response according to their context or their receiver's internal state 6 , and not solely based on their acoustics. Thus, the information capacity of animal vocalizations should still be explored, even when interpreting the behavioral responses is not straightforward 7 . Identifying context specific calls can be a first step toward the recovering of meaning in animal communication. For example, many studies indicated the existence of context specific vocalizations in various taxa (e.g., birds 8-10 , cetaceans 11,12 , dogs 13 , bats 14,15 , and nonhuman primates 16 ). Notably, the distinctive alarm calls of some species are acoustically unique to different types of danger [17][18][19] . Other studies have exemplified the ability to distinguish between emitting individuals based on acoustic features of their vocalizations 20-31 , while several studies, mainly in primates, revealed subtle context-dependent acoustic modifications of calls in everyday behaviors, such as food-related behaviors 32 , agonistic interactions 33 , and long-distance calls 29 .Bats are social mammals that often roost in very large colonies,...
