AVIAN COMMUNICATION IN URBAN NOISE: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF VOCAL ADJUSTMENT (2006, background): “With a few exceptions, vocal development in suboscine and nonpasserine birds is a largely innate process and does not require exposure to a tutor (Kroodsma 2004).”
Song divergence at the edge of Amazonia: an empirical test of the peripatric speciation model (2007, background): “Although song-learning may occur in the Cotingidae (Kroodsma, 2004), recent work in another suboscine family, the antbirds (Thamnophilidae), has shown close concordance between vocal and genetic geographical variation, suggesting that, in this family, song structure is an inherited rather than learn”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Frogs Call at a Higher Pitch in Traffic Noise (2009, background): “Song dialects can develop quickly in songbirds and tend to reflect the social relationships among birds rather than genotypic differences between populations (Kroodsma 2004).”
Bird Song: The Interface of Evolution and Mechanism (2004, unknown): “Numerous studies suggest that large repertoires are favored by sexual selection, although some concerns have been raised about the design and interpretation of these studies (Kroodsma 2004).”
