Mice sing like songbirds to woo mates

Male mice sing ultrasonic vocalizations beyond human hearing to seduce females, according to a new study. The male's loud, more complex hailing song is replaced by a softer, simpler song when the female is near. Researchers developed a new statistical method for analyzing song patterns in mice, because the animals may be useful in research on human communication disorders.
