- Referential mobbing calls elicit different predator-searching behaviours in Japanese great tits (2012, background): “…and titmice alter the number of ‘dee’ notes in ‘chick-a-dee’ mobbing calls according to predator size, and this variation represents urgency-based signals that elicit different degrees of mobbing response in their flockmates (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard & Ritchison 2009; Courter & Ritchison 2010).”
- Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “…these calls in a range of contexts such as finding food sources (Mahurin and Freeberg 2009; Suzuki 2012b), approaching and mobbing a predator (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard and Ritchison 2009; Courter and Ritchison 2010; Suzuki 2014), and maintaining social cohesion with conspecifics (Nowicki 1983).”
- Antipredator calls of tufted titmice and interspecific transfer of encoded threat information (2012, background): “…in chick-a-dee mobbing call structure clearly conveys perceived threat levels (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard and Ritchison 2009; Sieving et al. 2010; Courter and Ritchison 2010) and, in turn, these perceptions can be accurately transmitted to other species that are competent listeners (Templeton…”
- On the Meaning of Alarm Calls: A Review of Functional Reference in Avian Alarm Calling (2013, background): “…raptors, individuals approached more closely and took longer to return to pre-playback behaviour than during playbacks of calls elicited by larger raptors (Templeton et al. 2005; Soard & Ritchison 2009; Courter & Ritchison 2010), suggesting that receivers gain information regarding predator size.”
