Vocal Repertoire of Cebus capucinus: Acoustic Structure, Context, and Usage (2008, background): “…particular calls within a single context to examine stimuli that elicit calling and behavioral contexts that influence calling, e.g., alarm calls (Fichtel and Kappeler 2002; Fischer and Hammerschmidt 2001; Macedonia 1990; Seyfarth et al. 1980; Zuberbühler 2000), food-associated calls (Di Bitetti…”
Functionally Referential Alarm Calls in Tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis and Saguinus mystax) – Evidence from Playback Experiments (2006, background): “There are other studies in nonhuman primates (Fichtel & Kappeler 2002; Fichtel et al. 2005) and birds (Seyfarth & Cheney 1990) that also suggest a more general usage of terrestrial alarm calls in comparison with aerial alarm calls.”
The central importance of information in studies of animal communication. (2010, background): “Instead, they have simply tried to determine whether particular signals predict something about the world (e.g. the presence of food, the caller’s identity, a particular kind of predator, or the urgency of danger) or about the signaller’s next behaviour.”
A 15-Year Perspective on the Social Organization and Life History of Sifaka in Kirindy Forest (2012, background): “Sifakas communicate with scent marks and several vocalizations (Fichtel and Kappeler 2002; Lewis 2005; Pochron et al. 2005; Fichtel 2008), one of which is responsible for their onomatopoetic name.”
Interspecific Interactions Between Cebus capucinus and Other Species: Data from Three Costa Rican Sites (2003, background): “Various researchers have considered competition between sympatric primate species (Chapman, 1988; Gautier-Hion et al., 1983; Porter, 2001; Terborgh, 1983; Wahunga, 1998) or responses to predators (Boinski, 1987; Fichtel and Kappeler, 2002; Sauther, 1989; Seyfarth et al., 1980; Stanford, 2002; Tuti”
Evidence of Invasive Felis silvestris Predation on Propithecus verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madagascar (2008, result): “The results accord with those obtained on Propithecus in other spiny forest habitats such as Kirindy, where they direct growls to both aerial (Polyboroides) and terrestrial predators (Cryptoprocta, Canis), but direct roars solely at the aerial predators (Fichtel and Kappeler, 2002).”
The alarm-calling system of adult male putty-nosed monkeys, Cercopithecus nictitans martini (2006, methodology): “1 Published in Animal Behaviour 72, issue 3, 643-653, 2006 which should be used for any reference to this work Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi, have specific alarm calls for raptorsbut give a call associatedwithhigharousal toground predators and in social contexts (Fichtel & Kappeler 2002).”
Primate anti-predator strategies (2007, background): “Studies of referential signaling aid in dispelling the view that prosimians are primitive and not worthy of comparison with monkeys and apes (Oda, 1998; Fichtel & Kappeler, 2002).”
The versatility of graded acoustic measures in classification of predation threats by the tufted titmouse Baeolophus bicolor: exploring a mixed framework for threat communication (2010, methodology): “Therefore, the parid alarm-calling system (like that of other vertebrates; Fichtel and Kappeler 2002) includes both risk-based and referential communication in that they can vary call structure and (or) the call types produced under different anti-predator situations.”
Arrived in the light: diel and seasonal activity patterns in wild Verreaux’s sifakas (Propithecus v. verreauxi; Primates: Indriidae) (2004, background): “Sifakas face predation risk from the diurnal Harrier hawk (Polyboroides radiatus) and the cathemeral fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox, Viverridae), especially during the dry season (Rasoloarison et al. 1995; Karpanty and Goodman 1999; Fichtel and Kappeler 2002 ).”
Food-associated vocalizations in mammals and birds: what do these calls really mean? (2012, background): “…incompatibility of escape responses (Macedonia & Evans 1993; but see earlier discussion for cases where escape strategies are not incompatible or not the usual reaction to alarm calls: e.g. Fichtel & Kappeler 2002; Digweed et al. 2005; Wheeler 2008), feeding poses no such incompatibility problem.”
Reed warblers discriminate cuckoos from sparrowhawks with graded alarm signals that attract mates and neighbours (2008, background): “This further illustrates the intertwined nature of reference and affect in animal signals (see also Fischer & Hammerschmidt 2001; Fichtel & Kappeler 2002; Manser et al. 2002; Seyfarth & Cheney 2003; Holle ´n & Manser 2007).”
Production and perception of situationally variable alarm calls in wild tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) (2010, background): “While some species have a generalized alarm call system, producing similar calls in different threatening situations, other species demonstrate “situationally variable” alarm calls (reviewed in Fichtel and Kappeler 2002; Caro 2005).”
Chapter 8 Survivor Signals (2009, background): “The terrestrial alarm call was less specific than the aerial alarm calls because it was also given to a range of other disturbances (Fichtel and Kappeler, 2002).”
On the move around the clock: correlates and determinants of cathemeral activity in wild redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus) (2003, background): “fulvus) have specific alarm calls for aerial, but not for terrestrial, predators (Fichtel and Kappeler 2002), even though most recorded pr?dation is by a viverrid (Wright 1998).”
