Revising how the computer program cervus accommodates genotyping error increases success in paternity assignment (2007, unknown): “1999; Shelley & Blumstein 2005).”
Activity patterns of rodents: the physiological ecology of biological rhythms (2008, background): “The development of sociality (Ebensperger & Blumstein 2006 ) and of alarm calling (Shelley & Blumstein 2005 ) in rodents was also attributed to diurnality.”
The Evolution, Function, and Meaning of Marmot Alarm Communication (2007, methodology): “We used nonphylogenetic and phylogenetic techniques to study the evolution of calling in rodents using our 209 and 156 species data sets (Shelley and Blumstein, 2005).”
Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus (2008, background): “…have been conducted in avian and rodent taxa (e.g. Smith 1978; Davis 1984; Sherman 1985; Taylor et al. 1990; Hoogland 1996; Neudorf & Sealy 2002; Shelley & Blumstein 2005) but only two studies have appropriately tested some of these hypotheses among primates (Cheney & Seyfarth 1981, 1985;…”
Chapter 8 Survivor Signals (2009, background): “Reviewing over 200 species of rodents, Shelley and Blumstein (2005) concluded that alarm signals evolved primarily to communicate to predators, but that nepotistic benefits can be important for maintaining alarm calling in a species.”
Sociality in New World hystricognath rodents is linked to predators and burrow digging (2006, methodology): “From there, we resolved polytomies within genera by using recent molecular information from species-level phylogenetic hypotheses (Shelley and Blumstein, 2005).”
Multimodal alarm behavior in urban and rural gray squirrels studied by means of observation and a mechanical robot (2010, background): “Alarm signals can be addressed toward conspecifics (Sherman, 1977; Smith, 1986) or toward the predator (as predator deterrence, Caro, 1986; Shelley and Blumstein , 2005).”
Wild tree squirrels respond with multisensory enhancement to conspecific robot alarm behaviour. (2009, unknown): “Shelley & Blumstein (2005) surveyed 209 rodent species and found support for the idea that alarm calls evolved to communicate to predators (although grey squirrels were not included in the survey).”
