Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “To explore production specificity, researchers have tried to show different stimuli (such as different predators and food) to a focal individual and analyzed the association between the external stimuli and the acoustic variation in vocalizations (Evans 1997; Manser 2009; Zuberbühler 2009).”
A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, background): “Another very important benefit of aggregating for animals that forage on the move is the potential for sharing or responding to information, though the type of information being processed is itself more often ecological (McComb et al. 2011; Zuberbühler, 2009) than social (McComb et al. 2001).”
Communication about predator type by a bird using discrete, graded and combinatorial variation in alarm calls (2014, background): “Previous studies have shown that variation in the acoustic structure of alarm calls enables animals to convey information about the risk type or threat level of predators (Gill & Bierema, 2013; Zuberbühler, 2009).”
Sound familiar? Acoustic similarity provokes responses to unfamiliar heterospecific alarm calls (2011, background): “Many vertebrates use alarm calls to alert others to the pres-ence of danger (Zuberbühler 2009), and heterospecifics that share the same predators can benefit from responding to these calls.”
Food-associated vocalizations in mammals and birds: what do these calls really mean? (2012, background): “…variants of their food-associated ‘rough grunt’ as a function of food quality (Slocombe & Zuberbühler 2006), whereas bonobos produce an array of different food-associated calls whose production is probabilistically related to the quality of food encountered by the caller (Clay & Zuberbühler 2009).”
On the Meaning of Alarm Calls: A Review of Functional Reference in Avian Alarm Calling (2013, background): “Signallers give alarm calls to warn mates and kin, to attract unrelated conspecifics to mob predators or produce synchronized escape responses and to distract, disorient, or advertise to predators (Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1998; Zuberb€uhler 2009).”
The alarm call system of wild black-fronted titi monkeys, Callicebus nigrifrons (2012, background): “Although predatorspecific alarm calls are well described in Old World monkeys (see Zuberbühler 2009 for a review), this is not the case for most NewWorld monkeys (but see Digweed et al. 2005; Fichtel et al. 2005; Kirchhof and Hammerschmidt 2006; Wheeler 2010), which besides having undergone an…”
Referential mobbing calls elicit different predator-searching behaviours in Japanese great tits (2012, background): “Predation is a powerful selective force shaping the behaviour of most animals, many of which produce antipredator alarm calls when they detect predators (Caro 2005; Zuberbühler 2009).”
