Reliability and the value of information (2004, unknown): “Thus, we may expect selection pressure towards individual recognition, as observed by Hare & Atkins (2001), to increase as the cost of misinformation increases.”
The development of alarm-call behaviour in mammals and birds (2009, background): “To do so, calls and contexts could be artificially manipulated: the perceived reliability of different individuals could be altered by pairing their alarm calls with or without model predators, with subsequent assessment of receiver responses (see Hare & Atkins 2001; Blumstein et al. 2004).”
Chapter 8 Survivor Signals (2009, background): “In Richardson’s ground squirrels, for example, receivers discriminate between reliable and unreliable signalers, which is revealed in terms of their responsiveness (Hare and Atkins, 2001), a finding also reported from vervet monkeys (Cheney and Seyfarth, 1988).”
Yellow-bellied marmots discriminate between the alarm calls of individuals and are more responsive to calls from juveniles (2004, background): “Hare & Atkins (2001) found that juvenile Richardson’s ground squirrels habituate selectively to unreliable callers.”
The irrelevance of individual discrimination in meerkat alarm calls (2007, background): “Additionally, both Richardson’s ground squirrels, Spermophilus richardsonii, which are thought to benefit socially through reciprocal altruism ( Hare & Atkins 2001 ), and vervet monkeys, Cercopithecus aethiops (Cheney & Seyfarth 1988) show an ability to discriminate between unreliable and reliable c”
