Response to conspecific and heterospecific alarm calls in mixed-species bird flocks of a Sri Lankan rainforest (2008, background): “in being of generally higher frequency than other call types of similar amplitude ( Klump and Shalter 1984 ).”
Antipredator calls of tufted titmice and interspecific transfer of encoded threat information (2012, background): “Socially derived information about predators is widely available in animal communities in the form of alarm calls and other vocalizations that encode prey species’ perceptions of predation risk (Klump and Shalter 1984; Caro 2005; Sieving et al. 2010).”
Angry Birds Need Not Apply: A Perspective on the Flexible form and Multifunctionality of Avian Vocal Duets (2014, background): “In some cases, support for a mate-guarding hypothesis has stemmed from strong intrasexual responses by females to solo vocalizations, while males respond equally to solos and duets (Rogers et al. 2006; Koloff & Mennill 2011).”
Eavesdropping on other species: mutual interspecific understanding of urgency information in avian alarm calls (2010, background): “…‘mobbing’ alarm calls that attract others to harass terrestrial or stationary predators posing little immediate threat or ‘flee’ alarm calls that signal immediate danger, such as from a flying hawk, which incite others to freeze or flee to cover (Klump & Shalter 1984; Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1998).”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, background): “Increased risk of predation or parasitism The alarm calls of small passerines are often suggested to utilize high frequencies because this renders the signaler more difficult to detect or locate by birds of prey (Marler 1955; Klump and Shalter 1984).”
Fearing the feline: domestic cats reduce avian fecundity through trait-mediated indirect effects that increase nest predation by other species (2013, background): “This frequently reduces the rate of nest predation by the focal predator (Klump & Shalter 1984; Montgomerie & Weatherhead 1988; Fallow & Magrath 2010).”
Chapter 8 Survivor Signals (2009, background): “Animal signals may have largely evolved in relation to the psychology of the targeted receivers, that is, what they find easy to detect, discriminate, and remember (Guilford and Dawkins, 1991; Klump and Shalter, 1984).”
