• Animal Communication and Noise (2013, background): “Birds close to noisy waterfalls and torrents repeat their songs more often (Brumm and Slater 2006), and birds also increase their rates of signaling in the presence of artificial ambient noise (Potash 1972).”
• Female zebra finches prefer high-amplitude song (2010, background): “Over and above such context-dependent variation within individuals, song amplitude in birds also differs considerably between individuals (Brumm & Slater 2006; Brumm 2009).”
• The evolution of the Lombard effect: 100 years of psychoacoustic research (2011, background): “Indeed, Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) and chaffinches (Fringilla coelebs) produce more redundant signals when communicating in noisy environments (Potash, 1972b; Lengagne et al., 1999; Brumm & Slater, 2006b).”
• Song complexity correlates with learning ability in zebra finch males. (2008, methodology): “All song recordings were first high-pass filtered (cutoff frequency 0.4 kHz; Hamming window 1024 coefficients) to remove low-frequency background noise ( Brumm & Slater 2006 ).”
• On the relationship between, and measurement of, amplitude and frequency in birdsong (2012, background): “This dynamic range of amplitude is an integral part of a bird’s communication system, and a vocalizing individual can voluntarily adjust both frequency and amplitude in normal communicative interactions (Brumm & Todt 2004; Christie et al. 2004; Brumm & Slater 2006; Geberzahn et al. 2009).”
