• Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “Defending and advertising a territory exposes a bird to heightened predation risk, reduces foraging time and is energetically expensive (Gil & Gahr 2002; Ward et al. 2003; Dunn et al. 2004; Goymann & Wingfield 2004a).”
• Song amplitude affects territorial aggression of male receivers in chaffinches (2011, background): “Most studies on the metabolic costs of song production indicate that singing in birds requires little energy per se (Oberweger and Goller 2001; Franz and Goller 2003; Ward et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Are bird species that vocalize at higher frequencies preadapted to inhabit noisy urban areas (2009, background): “1998; Brumm 2004), which to some extent is energetically costly (Oberweger and Goller 2001; Thomas 2002; Ward et al. 2003), or sing at times when urban noise is less severe (Fuller et al.”
• A functional perspective on sexual selection: insights and future prospects (2006, background): “Bird vocalizations may have an anaerobic component (Weathers et al. 1997), although this is considered unlikely (Ward et al. 2003).”
• Bird Song: The Interface of Evolution and Mechanism (2004, unknown): “Recent studies of oxygen consumption in singing zebra finches, canaries, and starlings, however, suggest that bird song production imposes comparatively modest costs [maximum 2.4 times increase in metabolic rate (Oberweger & Goller 2001, Ward et al. 2003; but see Eberhardt 1994)].”
• The Evolution, Function, and Meaning of Marmot Alarm Communication (2007, background): “In theory, alarm calls could have an energetic cost, but even studies of birdsong do not always quantify substantial energetic costs (Ward et al., 2003), and alarm calls are relatively rare events and thus should be even less costly.”
• SONG AND MATE CHOICE IN BIRDS: HOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEHAVIOR HELPS US UNDERSTAND FUNCTION (2005, background): “Measurements of oxygen consumption during singing indicate that the energy costs of song are remarkably low (Oberweger and Goller 2001; Ward et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Reliable aggressive signalling in swamp sparrows (2008, background): “Production costs in terms of energy consumption are unlikely, since song in general has low energy costs in songbirds (Oberweger & Goller 2001; Ward et al. 2003), and low-intensity song would be expected to be particularly inexpensive.”
