• Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags: a review (2009, background): “Calls can reveal the behavioural state (e.g. Weilgart & Whitehead 1990, Tyack & Clark 2000, Oleson et al. 2007), social grouping (Ford 1991, Weilgart & Whitehead 1997), or gender, size, or relative location of the calling animal (Gordon 1991, Miller 2002).”
• Stability and group specificity of stereotyped whistles in resident killer whales, Orcinus orca, off British Columbia (2006, background): “It is therefore likely that some of the above mentioned whistle types serve the same function as certain discrete calls: maintaining contact and coordinating group movements over long distances (Ford 1989; Miller & Bain 2000; Miller 2002; Miller et al. 2004).”
• Call-type matching in vocal exchanges of free-ranging resident killer whales, Orcinus orca (2004, background): “1981), a caller may signal its orientation and direction of movement to intended receivers (Miller 2002; Lammers & Au 2003).”
• The vocal behaviour of mammal-eating killer whales: communicating with costly calls (2005, background): “Pulsed calls are the most common vocalization of killer whales and are thought to function in group recognition and coordination of behaviour (Ford 1989, 1991; Miller 2000b; Miller et al. 2004).”
• Biphonation May Function to Enhance Individual Recognition in the Dhole, Cuon alpinus (2006, background): “For the killer whale, only using biphonic calls provides reliable information about orientation of a caller to a listener, whereas calls consisting exclusively of the low-frequency component, do not provide such information (Miller 2002).”
• DIRECTIONALITY IN THE WHISTLES OF HAWAIIAN SPINNER DOLPHINS (STENELLA LONGIROSTRIS): A SIGNAL FEATURE TO CUE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT? (2003, background): “The results presented suggest that spinner dolphin whistles have what is referred to as ‘‘mixed directionality’’ (Larsen and Dabelsteen 1990, Miller 2002).”
