Acoustic monitoring in terrestrial environments using microphone arrays: applications, technological considerations and prospectus (2011, methodology): “…frequency and time characteristics from waveforms, spectrograms and power spectra, and selected measurements such as duration, bandwidth, centre frequency, etc., by hand (e.g. Leong et al. 2002; Blumstein & Munos 2005), although several new software tools allow for automated parametermeasurement.”
The Evolution, Function, and Meaning of Marmot Alarm Communication (2007, methodology): “By making a number of acoustic measurements, we found that in addition to predation risk, yellow‐bellied marmot alarm calls also contain potential information about caller’s age, sex, and identity (Blumstein and Armitage, 1997a; Blumstein and Munos, 2005).”
Individual Acoustic Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama) Common and Harsh Groans: A Source-Filter Theory Perspective (2007, background): “Individual vocal recognition may be adaptive for sexual selection, and influence male–male competition and female choice (Davies & Halliday 1978; McComb 1991).”
The development of alarm-call behaviour in mammals and birds (2009, background): “In yellow-bellied marmots Marmota flaviventris (Blumstein & Munos 2005), great gerbils, Rhombomys opinus (Randall et al. 2005) and meerkats, Suricata suricatta (Hollén & Manser 2007a), for example, the alarm calls of young are higher pitched than those of adults.”
Chapter 8 Survivor Signals (2009, background): “Alarm calls of adults are also individually distinct and when calls were broadcast and rerecorded over different distances, the acoustic variables that conveyed the caller’s identity persisted (Blumstein and Munos, 2005).”
Individual specific contact calls of pallid bats (Antrozous pallidus) attract conspecifics at roosting sites (2011, methodology): “In addition, the information capacity of alarm calls in yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) was calculated as 3.37 bits ( Blumstein and Munos 2005 ), the latter of which has been shown to discriminate between calls of different individuals (Blumstein and Daniel 2004) even though the estim”
