• The impact of environmental noise on song amplitude in a territorial bird (2004, background): “This frequency weighting was chosen because it is noise in the frequency range of their own songs that is crucial for the regulation of vocal amplitude in nightingales (Brumm & Todt 2002).”
• Acoustic communication in a noisy world: can fish compete with anthropogenic noise? (2014, background): “2009), and nightingales (Luscinia megarhynchos: Brumm and Todt 2002; Brumm 2004).”
• Vessel noise effects on delphinid communication (2009, background): “Many animal species, including birds (Brumm & Todt 2002, Slabbekoorn & Peet 2003) and frogs (Sun & Narins 2005, Bee & Swanson 2007), change the frequency content or source level of their sounds to decrease the masking effects of anthropogenic noise whenever possible.”
• SONG SPARROW (MELOSPIZA MELODIA) SONG VARIES WITH URBAN NOISE (2006, background): “In laboratory studies, noise within the spectral region of Common Nightingale songs was most eff ective in inducing increased amplitude (Brumm and Todt 2002).”
• Blackbirds sing higher-pitched songs in cities: adaptation to habitat acoustics or side-effect of urbanization? (2009, background): “Nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos, for instance, sing louder (Brumm & Todt 2002) in noisy conditions and dippers, Cinclus cinclus, use particularly high frequencies well * Correspondence: E. Nemeth, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Communication and Social Behaviour Group,…”
• Effect of natural and synthetic noise on evoked vocal responses in a frog of the temperate austral forest (2005, background): “Birds (Manabe et al. 1998; Brumm & Todt 2002), monkeys (Sinnot et al. 1975) and humans (Egan 1972) produce vocalizations of larger amplitude if exposed to band-pass noise centred at the frequency range of their vocalizations, as compared to noises having a different spectral composition.”
• The evolution of the Lombard effect: 100 years of psychoacoustic research (2011, background): “…effect is independent of the ontogenetic origin of the vocalization, as it occurs in both vocalizations that are acquired by vocal production learning (Cynx et al., 1998; Brumm & Todt, 2002) as well as those that are not (Potash, 1972a; Cynx et al., 1998; Leonard & Horn, 2005; Brumm et al., 2009).”
• Strategies of song adaptation to urban noise in the house finch: syllable pitch plasticity or differential syllable use? (2009, background): “The influence of ambient noise in shaping birdsong attributes has received much attention recently (e.g., Brumm & Todt, 2002; Slabbekoorn & Peet, 2003; Brumm, 2004, 2006; Leader et al., 2005; Brumm & Slater, 2006; Patricelli & Blickley, 2006; Slabbekoorn & den Boer-Visser, 2006; Wood & Yezerinac,…”
• The Eco-field Hypothesis: Toward a Cognitive Landscape (2005, background): “The combination of such signs contributes to the creation of an acoustic landscape in which animal repertoire and environmental noise are closely and explicitly related (f.i. Brumm and Todt 2002).”
• Female zebra finches prefer high-amplitude song (2010, background): “Zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata (Cynx et al. 1998), nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos (Brumm & Todt 2002) and Bengalese finches, Lonchura striata domestica (Kobayasi & Okanoya 2003), have been shown to increase the sound pressure level (SPL) of their songs in response to increased levels of…”
• Ambient noise, motor fatigue, and serial redundancy in chaffinch song (2006, background): “The mechanism whereby bout length is adapted to background noise could best be tested with psychoacoustic experiments in which different levels of noise are broadcast to animals in soundproof chambers (Brumm and Todt 2002; Brumm et al. 2004).”
• Male–male vocal interactions and the adjustment of song amplitude in a territorial bird (2004, background): “However, Brumm & Todt (2002) showed that solo singing nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos, did not maximize the amplitude of their territorial songs per se but regulated vocal intensity depending on the level of masking background noise.”
