- Chapter 5 Vocal Performance and Sensorimotor Learning in Songbirds (2009, background): “Third, birds which vocalize infrequently may do so not because of a physical inability to produce more, but because of an inability to withstand other kinds of costs associated with increased song output such as increased vulnerability or likelihood of retaliation from territorial neighbors (Vehrenc”
- Song as an aggressive signal in songbirds (2009, methodology): “By contrast, in a study of western song sparrows, Vehrencamp (2001) found that birds that typematched playback of neighbour or stranger song also responded more aggressively in the 3 min period after the playback concluded.”
- Bird Song: The Interface of Evolution and Mechanism (2004, unknown): “In general, the ability to adjust information content during signaling interactions may favor large and diverse song repertoires (Naguib & Todt 1998, Vehrencamp 2001).”

- Fifty years of bird song research: a case study in animal behaviour (2003, background): “Interactive playback has been an important recent technical advance which is helping us to understand just how individuals use their songs in relation to one another (e.g. Vehrencamp 2001).”
- Vocal interactions in nightingales (Luscinia megarhynchos): more aggressive males have higher pairing success (2006, unknown): “Such vocal matching can also be interpreted as a directed and threatening singing strategy (Krebs et al. 1981; Vehrencamp 2001).”
- Habitat fragmentation affects culture transmission: patterns of song matching in Dupont's lark (2005, background): “…sharing occurs when a male replies to a rival’s song with the same song sequence, with the supposed purpose of signalling an increased likelihood of attack on the singing opponent (Bremond 1968 modified by Krebs, Ashcroft & Van Orsdol 1981; Vehrencamp 2001; Anderson, Searcy & Nowicki 2005).”
- Low-amplitude song predicts attack in a North American wood warbler (2010, methodology): “This result suggests that closest approach, which has been used as a proxy for aggression in prior studies (e.g. Beecher et al. 2000; Vehrencamp 2001; Vehrencamp et al. 2007), may not be a particularly good measure of actual aggressive intent, and thus highlights the importance of using the method…”
- Bird song as a signal of aggressive intent (2006, background): “In song sparrows, Vehrencamp (2001) showed that males that matched a playback song spent more time close to the speaker than males that did not match; again, time spent close to a playback speaker is usually assumed to indicate aggressiveness.”
- Humpback whale song hierarchical structure: Historical context and discussion of current classification issues (2013, background): “The use of similar metrics in songbirds has revealed that changes in these variables may, for example, indicate an escalation of aggression between males (Krebs et al. 1981, Vehrencamp 2001).”
- Song divergence and male dispersal among bird populations: a spatially explicit model testing the role of vocal learning (2003, background): “Song type sharing and song type matching during vocal interactions are effective means of deterring strangers (Vehrencamp 2001) and controlling aggression levels with neighbours (Wilson & Vehrencamp 2001).”
- Contact call diversity in wild orange-fronted parakeet pairs, Aratinga canicularis (2006, background): “Vocal matching, which can have affiliative (Brown & Farabaugh 1997) or agonistic functions (Vehrencamp 2000, 2001), is a common behaviour exploiting call type heterogeneity.”
