- Call-type matching in vocal exchanges of free-ranging resident killer whales, Orcinus orca (2004, background): “In contrast, song-type matching in territorial songbirds appears to function as a threat by which the responder can target his threat to the original singer (Krebs et al. 1981; Burt et al. 2001), and vocal learning appears to play a critical role in the development of shared repertoires (Bell et al.”
- Bird song as a signal of aggressive intent (2006, background): “The explanation may be that type matching is a signal of attention rather than aggression, as originally suggested by Bremond (1968), and is predictive of milder forms of escalation than attack (Burt et al. 2001).”
- Overlapping and matching of codas in vocal interactions between sperm whales: insights into communication function (2008, background): “Temporally associated vocal exchanges have been observed in a variety of animal species including birds (e.g. Todt & Naguib 2000; Burt et al. 2001; Catchpole & Slater 2008), frogs (e.”
- Song as an aggressive signal in songbirds (2009, background): “In an interactive playback study of western song sparrows, when a subject sang a song he shared with a particular neighbour, the experimenters replied with either the neighbour’s version of that song (a type match) or another shared song of that neighbour (a ‘repertoire match’) (Burt et al. 2001).”
- Female mate choice and songbird song repertoires (2009, unknown): “The highest level of aggression is signalled by use of the same type that the rival is currently singing (Beecher et al. 2000; Burt et al. 2001).”
- The central importance of information in studies of animal communication. (2010, background): “Infants do get weaned, in part because mothers cease responding to their calls and reject their attempts to nurse (e.g. Hinde 1978; Altmann 1980, page 175e177; Maestripieri 2002; see also Hammerschmidt et al. 1994).”
- Good neighbour, bad neighbour: song sparrows retaliate against aggressive rivals (2009, unknown): “These were done just inside the stimulus bird’s territory, within 2 m of the shared boundary with the subject, with a directional speaker (see Burt et al. 2001 for a description) facing into the subject’s territory.”
- Overlapping and matching in the song contests of black-capped chickadees (2004, background): “(2001) suggested that frequency matching and temporal matching represent a hierarchy of aggressive signals akin to the nonmatching/repertoire matching/type matching system seen in song sparrows, Melospiza melodia, and banded wrens, Thryothorus pleurostictus (Burt et al. 2001; Molles & Vehrencamp 200”
- Soft Song in Song Sparrows: Acoustic Structure and Implications for Signal Function (2008, methodology): “Soft song has been briefly mentioned in accounts of male–male territorial behavior in song sparrows (Nice 1943) and has been used in composite measures of aggressive response in playback experiments (e.g. Beecher et al. 2000; Burt et al. 2001).”
