Context-Related Variation in the Vocal Growling Behaviour of the Domestic Dog (Canis familiaris) (2009, background): “The importance of vocal macrostructure has now been identified in several species, including bats (e.g. Bastian & Schmidt 2008) and nonhuman primates (e.g. Diana monkeys: Riede & Zuberbuhler 2003; putty-nosed monkeys: Arnold & Zuberbuhler 2006; also see Seyfarth & Cheney 2003).”
Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “Finally, like several Cercopithecusmonkeys (Arnold and Zuberbühler 2006b), several species of birds can combine different sounds into more highly structured sequences in a context-dependent manner.”
What do animal signals mean (2009, background): “…and referential quality of primate signals continue apace (Hauser 1998; Zuberbühler 2000a, 2003; Di Bitetti 2003; Slocombe & Zuberbühler 2005; Arnold & Zuberbühler 2006a, b) and, in fact, have spread to include a variety of more distantly related mammals and birds (e.g. meerkats, Suricata…”
The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “Even here, though, exceptions are reported: for example, not all sign languages appear to show duality of patterning (Aronoff et al. 2008). 4. For example, Hornstein et al. (2005, p. 7) describe constituent structure as one of the uncontentious “big facts” about language. See Matthews (2007) for a c”
Production and perception of situationally variable alarm calls in wild tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) (2010, background): “Finally, different combinations of calls may be given in response to different types of threats (e.g., Arnold and Zuberbühler 2006; Schel et al. 2009; Ouattara et al. 2009b).”
The alarm call system of wild black-fronted titi monkeys, Callicebus nigrifrons (2012, background): “…Templeton et al. 2005), but in others, the nature of the danger encountered is reflected by the number of calls per sequence (Schel et al. 2009), the rate of call delivery (Lemasson et al. 2010), the intensity of calls (Blumstein 1999), or by combinations of calls (Arnold and Zuberbühler 2006a, b).”
The alarm-calling system of adult male putty-nosed monkeys, Cercopithecus nictitans martini (2006, background): “This sequence has been shown to instigate group movement in a variety of contexts including predation (Arnold & Zuberbühler 2006).”
Communication about predator type by a bird using discrete, graded and combinatorial variation in alarm calls (2014, background): “For example, putty-nosed monkeys, Cercopithecus nictitans martini, combine acoustically discrete calls into a fixed sequence depending on the type of predators that they encountered (Arnold & Zuberbühler, 2006a, 2008).”
