- On the Meaning of Alarm Calls: A Review of Functional Reference in Avian Alarm Calling (2013, background): “…raptors, individuals approached more closely and took longer to return to pre-playback behaviour than during playbacks of calls elicited by larger raptors (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard & Ritchison 2009; Courter & Ritchison 2010), suggesting that receivers gain information regarding predator size.”
- Antipredator calls of tufted titmice and interspecific transfer of encoded threat information (2012, background): “…and appropriate responses to the different treatments are based on Templeton et al. (2005), Templeton and Greene (2007), Sieving et al. (2010), and Soard and Ritchison (2009) who observed either perception and/or response specificity to similar predation threats for (collectively) 3 different…”
- Referential mobbing calls elicit different predator-searching behaviours in Japanese great tits (2012, background): “…and titmice alter the number of ‘dee’ notes in ‘chick-a-dee’ mobbing calls according to predator size, and this variation represents urgency-based signals that elicit different degrees of mobbing response in their flockmates (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard & Ritchison 2009; Courter & Ritchison 2010).”
- Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “In humans, senders encode information about external entities into words or phrases (i.e., messages, Smith 1977) through representational ideation, i.e., the formation of mental images or concepts about the external entities.”
