Sound familiar? Acoustic similarity provokes responses to unfamiliar heterospecific alarm calls (2011, background): “The superb fairy-wren is a sedentary species (Higgins et al. 2001), and individuals in our study population were therefore highly unlikely to have experienced calls of the allopatric species used in the playback experiment.”
Bird demographic responses to predator removal programs (2010, unknown): “Mean mass of males and females combined (Dunnin 1993) b From Marchant and Higgins (1990), Schönwetter (1967), and Thomson et al. (1998) c Rabbits also present on the island, however, only affected petrel breeding in 1 year (Imber et al. 2000) d Pterodroma cookii productivity most affected by rats…”
Eavesdropping on other species: mutual interspecific understanding of urgency information in avian alarm calls (2010, methodology): “As a control we used unique examples of the piping or ‘bell’ call (Higgins 1999; Magrath et al. 2007) of crimson rosellas, Platycercus elegans, parrots that are common at the study site and do not threaten either focal species.”
Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “The Needletail is confined mostly to higher rainfall regions east and south of the Great Dividing Range, whereas the Fork-tailed Swift occurs over most of Australia (Barrett et al. 2003; Dingle 2004; Higgins et al. 2006).”
Conspicuous males suffer higher predation risk: visual modelling and experimental evidence from lizards (2003, unknown): “Second, rock dragon predators are mainly visually oriented avian predators, such as corvids (mainly the little crow, Corvus bennetti), kookaburras, Dacelo novaeguineae, and the Australian kestrel, Falco cenchroides, for which lizards are an important part of the diet (Higgins 1993).”
Contrasting extreme long-distance migration patterns in bar-tailed godwits Limosa lapponica (2012, background): “Th ey left Asia from 18 to 27 May and migrated north across eastern Russia, northern Japan, and the Sea of Okhotsk, ﬂ ying 4170 km in 2.4 d to breeding sites spanning 800 km of eastern Siberia (northern Yakutia) and northwest Chukotka (Table 2, Fig.”
