• Sources of background noise and their influence on vertebrate acoustic communication (2013, background): “(2003) and Nemeth & Brumm (2010), have made significant effort to understand how background noise can limit the active space of signals.”
• The effect of anthropogenic noise on male advertisement call rate in the neotropical treefrog, Dendropsophus triangulum (2009, background): “This increase has been shown in several other bird species (e.g., Manabe et al., 1998; Brumm, 2004).”
• Artificial night lighting rather than traffic noise affects the daily timing of dawn and dusk singing in common European songbirds (2014, background): “increased amplitude (Brumm 2004), and changes in song frequency (Dowling et al.”
• Variability in the echolocation of Tadarida brasiliensis: effects of geography and local acoustic environment (2007, background): “Within populations, plasticity in signal structure allows individuals to respond to varying behavioural and ecological factors, such as changes in predation risk (Endler 1987) or local habitat characteristics (Brumm 2004).”
• On the relationship between, and measurement of, amplitude and frequency in birdsong (2012, background): “Nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos, for example, sing with a higher sound pressure level in areas with intense traffic noise as compared to quieter locations (Brumm 2004).”
• Animal Communication and Noise (2013, background): “Eurasian wren Troglodytes troglodytes (Holland 2000), great tits Parus major (Blumenrath and Dabelsteen 2004), common nightingales Luscinia megarhynchos (Brumm 2004), common chaffinches Fringilla coelebs (Brumm and Ritschard 2011)).”
• Song amplitude affects territorial aggression of male receivers in chaffinches (2011, background): “Second, the measuring procedure is also crucial because the measured sound pressure values vary with distance from the singing bird as well as its orientation (Brumm 2004).”
• Complex courtship displays facilitate male reproductive success and plasticity in signaling across variable environments (2011, background): “, 2002; Dukas, 2008) as well as to the signaling environment (e.g., Reynolds, 1993; Brumm, 2004; Ord et al., 2007).”
• Which birds adjust the frequency of vocalizations in urban noise (2010, background): “For example, some urban birds increase signal redundancy (Brumm & Slater 2006), vocalize louder (Brumm 2004), use more pure tones (Dubois & Martens 1984) or avoid times of more intense noise (Bergen & Abs 1997; Fuller et al.”
• Serins respond to anthropogenic noise by increasing vocal activity (2011, background): “, singing louder songs) have also been demonstrated (Brumm 2004), as well as temporal shifts (i.”
• Not so sexy in the city: urban birds adjust songs to noise but compromise vocal performance (2016, positive): “In cities, birds have been show to sing at higher amplitude in areas with higher ambient noise levels (Brumm 2004).”
• Measuring acoustic habitats (2015, methodology): “We detail the signal processing steps required to produce absolute measurements of sound pressure and demonstrate the use of analytical techniques to describe variability and trends in sound levels and to characterise discrete acoustic events.”
• Strategies of song adaptation to urban noise in the house finch: syllable pitch plasticity or differential syllable use? (2009, methodology): “We measured noise at each interval following a modified version of Brumm's (2004) protocol.”
