Mobbing behaviour in birds: costs and reciprocity based cooperation (2007, background): “While mobbing predators, pied flycatchers use “pik” calls (Bergmann & Helb 1982, Krama & Krams 2005).”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “For instance, the mobbing calls of pied flycatchers can attract martens to nests, even though tapes were played during the day and the martens are active at night (Krama & Krams, 2004).”
Cuckoo adaptations: trickery and tuning (2011, background): “Cuckoos may avoid strong mobbers because of risks of injury (more likely with larger hosts: Molnar, 1944). or because mobbing attracts predators or other brood parasites (Smith, Arcese & McLean, 1984; Krama & Krams, 2005) which increases the chance that the cuckoo herself or her egg is depredated.”
Fearing the feline: domestic cats reduce avian fecundity through trait-mediated indirect effects that increase nest predation by other species (2013, background): “The few experimental tests that have been conducted, while useful, provide insufficient support as they relied on playing recordings of avian mobbing calls at artificial nests in nest boxes (Krama & Krams 2005; Krams et al. 2007).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Mobbing calls by parents at or near nests can also attract predators (Krama and Krams 2005; Krams et al. 2007; Bonnington et al. 2013), and indeed all acoustic communication by birds near the nest may be risky (Haff et al.”
A parasite in wolf's clothing: hawk mimicry reduces mobbing of cuckoos by hosts (2011, background): “In addition, it attracts predators and other brood parasites (Smith et al. 1984; Krama and Krams 2005), and it alerts neighboring hosts (Grim 2008; Welbergen and Davies 2008), which may increase their nest guarding (Davies et al.”
Experimental evidence of reciprocal altruism in the pied flycatcher (2008, background): “Finally, the initiator of mobbing and its offspring may be under increased risk of predation by attracting the predator’s attention, especially if not joined by other neighbouring prey individuals (Krama and Krams 2005).”
