On the Meaning of Alarm Calls: A Review of Functional Reference in Avian Alarm Calling (2013, background): “…in birds, and more recent research has uncovered functional reference in contexts unknown from mammalian studies (Gill & Sealy 2004; Griesser 2008; Suzuki 2011, 2012), mechanisms by which signallers modulate predation risk (e.g. Bayly & Evans 2003; Wilson et al. 2008; Kokolakis et al. 2010) and…”
Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades (2016, background): “For example, nestlings of the Japanese great tit can discriminate between different types of alarm calls, although they may not be able to learn to associate call types with predator types within their nest cavities (Suzuki 2011).”
