Popis:	We examined the vocal repertoire of lek-mating Long-tailed Manakins (Chi- roxiphia linearis, Pipridae) in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Males in this genus are unusual in performing a cooperative courtship display, including duet songs and coordinated dual-male dance displays. Males give at least 13 distinct vocalizations, several of which occur in clear behavioral contexts. By observing the behavioral context and the sequence in which calls were given, we found that the most frequent calls occurred during three types of activity: song bouts, dance, and noncourtship interactions. The responses of males to playback of six vocalizations indicated that the calls function as much in mediating cooperative inter- actions as in expressing male-male agonism. The evolution of the large vocal repertoire in Long-tailed Manakins may be associated with their unique social system based on long- term, cooperative relationships among males.
