Alarm calls of tufted titmice convey information about predator size and threat (2010, background): “Alarm calling by birds in the family Paridae has been widely documented (Hailman 1989), with most studies focusing on the remarkable complexity of the alarm calls of chickadees (genus Poecile; Baker and Becker 2002; Freeberg and Lucas 2002; Clucas et al. 2004; Lucas and Freeberg 2007).”
‘Chick-a-dee’ calls of Carolina chickadees convey information about degree of threat posed by avian predators (2009, methodology): “The vocal repertoire of Carolina chickadees has been described previously (Smith 1972; Freeberg & Lucas 2002; Freeberg et al. 2003; Clucas et al. 2004; Bloomfield et al. 2005).”
Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “Carolina chickadees respond differently to playbacks of different note combinations in ‘‘chicka’’ calls (Freeberg and Lucas 2002).”
