Citations in the corpus
- Animal Communication and Noise (2013, background): “In the tropics, however, female birds sing much more commonly than in the more temperate latitudes, and they may use their songs in both territory defence and attraction of male mates (Slater and Mann 2004).”
- Did Neanderthals and other early humans sing? Seeking the biological roots of music in the territorial advertisements of primates, lions, hyenas, and wolves (2009, background): “(It has recently been recognized that females sing much more frequently in tropical than in temperate species; see Slater & Mann, 2004, for discussion.)”
- Seasonal variation in the duetting behaviour of rufous-and-white wrens (Thryothorus rufalbus) (2008, background): “Both temperate and tropical species time reproduction for when conditions are optimal (reviewed in Slater and Mann 2004).”
- Territoriality, Social Bonds, and the Evolution of Communal Signaling in Birds (2016, unknown): “Habitat may also play a role, particularly as pair or group members are thought to maintain contact using acoustic communal signals in habitats where visual signals are ineffective, such as dense forests (Slater, 1997; Slater and Mann, 2004; Mennill and Vehrencamp, 2008).”
- A call to document female bird songs: Applications for diverse fields (2018, background): “…Q 2018 American Ornithological Society Downloaded From: https://bioone.org/journals/The-Auk on 07 Nov 2019 Terms of Use: https://bioone.org/terms-of-use bird song research, but we have still hardly scratched the surface of this field (Langmore 1998, Hall 2004, Slater and Mann 2004, Price 2015).”
