The “Cocktail Party Problem”: What Is It? How Can It Be Solved? And Why Should Animal Behaviorists Study It? (2008, unknown): “…in the ability to recognize and discriminate among different signal variants (Bee, 2007; Bee & Swanson, 2007; Ehret & Gerhardt, 1980; Gerhardt & Klump, 1988; Langemann, Gauger, & Klump, 1998; Lohr, Wright, & Dooling, 2003; Schwartz & Gerhardt, 1989, 1995; Wollerman, 1999; Wollerman & Wiley, 2002).”
High levels of environmental noise erode pair preferences in zebra finches: implications for noise pollution (2007, background): “…of some songbirds (and perhaps other vocal species), especially those that rely on auditory signals to establish and maintain pair bonds and mate preferences (e.g. Schwartz et al. 2001; Wollerman & Wiley 2002; Brumm 2004; Kumar 2004; Mota & Depraz 2004; Warren et al. 2006; Wood & Yezerinac 2006).”
The Behavioral Ecology of Anuran Communication (2007, background): “However, a loud chorus also can make signal detection, localization, discrimination, and interpretation difficult (Wollerman and Wiley 2002a,b).”
Condition-dependent signaling affects male sexual attractiveness in field crickets, Gryllus campestris (2003, background): “In frogs, natural background sound may reduce a female’s ability to discriminate between male calls on the basis of song components (Gerhardt and Klump, 1988; Wollerman and Haven Wiley, 2002 ).”
Visual communication in Brazilian species of anurans from the Atlantic forest (2005, background): “Background sound from a natural chorus reduces the female’s ability to discriminate among conspecific calls (Gerhardt 1982; Telford et al. 1989; Márquez and Bosch 1997; Wollerman and Willey 2002).”
Risk vs. reward: how predators and prey respond to aging olfactory cues (2013, background): “This study was funded by ARC Discovery grant DP0881455 and Hermon Slade Foundation Grant 10–10a awarded to PBB. Ethical standards This work was carried out under Australian ethics approval, granted by the University of New South Wales Animal Ethics Committee (approval number 08/153B; 09/99B).”
Plasticity in the vocalizations of anurans in response to traffic noise (2010, background): “Wollerman and Wiley (2002) suggested that in noisy environments, female anurans switch from discriminating among available male vocalizations to simply locating a male.”
Anthropogenic sounds differentially affect amphibian call rate (2005, background): “In multi-species calling assemblages of anuran amphibians, background noise levels may reach 86 dB SPL or higher, measured at 1 m, representing a formidable obstacle for species-specific communication (Narins, 1982; Schwartz and Wells, 1983a,b; Wells, 1988; Wollerman and Wiley, 2002; this study).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Frogs Call at a Higher Pitch in Traffic Noise (2009, unknown): “However, it remains to be seen whether such a difference would influence mate choice by female frogs in a noisy field environment (Wollerman and Wiley 2002).”
