Aggressive contests in house crickets: size, motivation and the information content of aggressive songs (2006, result): “Other studies have also reported no relationship between calling song structure and size in crickets, or inconsistent relationships (see Gerhardt & Huber 2002).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Frogs Call at a Higher Pitch in Traffic Noise (2009, background): “These could include calls that are louder, longer, and/or have a higher repetition rate, i.e., calls with high values for dynamic properties (Gerhardt and Huber 2002).”
Individual Acoustic Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama) Common and Harsh Groans: A Source-Filter Theory Perspective (2007, background): “The acoustic structure of vocalizations is usually variable and can be affected by factors such as species identity, individual identity, social context, and phenotypic traits of the vocalizing animal (Fischer et al. 2002; Gerhardt & Huber 2002; Reby & McComb 2003a; Blumstein & Munos 2005).”
Soft Song in Song Sparrows: Acoustic Structure and Implications for Signal Function (2008, background): “Graded signals are used in aggressive signaling in a variety of taxa, and there is some evidence that vocal amplitude affects receiver response in aggressive contexts (Kroodsma 1979; Dabelsteen 1981; Gerhardt & Huber 2002; Brumm & Todt 2004).”
Calls, colours, shape, and genes: a multi-trait approach to the study of geographic variation in the Amazonian frog Allobates femoralis (2009, background): “…strong constraining or diversifying selective pres- © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 98, 826–838 sures, whereas a role for neutral processes, such as isolation by distance, is rarely considered (Wilczynski & Ryan, 1999; Gerhardt & Huber, 2002).”
Multimodal Signaling in Male and Female Foot-Flagging Frogs Staurois guttatus (Ranidae): An Alerting Function of Calling (2007, background): “Although in most anurans acoustic signals play a dominant role in intraspecific communication (Gerhardt & Huber 2002; Narins et al. 2007), the important role of visual displays has become more apparent recently (Hödl & Amézquita 2001).”
Spectral niche segregation and community organization in a tropical cricket assemblage (2013, background): “Calling songs ranging from 1.5 to 11 kHz (Bennet-Clark 1998) attract females from some distance as a first step in mate choice (Gerhardt and Huber 2002; for exceptions of cricket taxa also exploiting high sonic or ultrasonic frequencies, see Robillard 2009).”
Acoustic spectral preferences in two cryptic species of grey treefrogs: implications for mate choice and sensory mechanisms (2005, background): “When acoustic properties are complex, such as a frequency spectrum containing more than one emphasized component, playback experiments sometimes have unexpected results that reflect nonlinear characteristics of sensory mechanisms (Gerhardt & Huber 2002).”
Mechanisms and Evolution of Communal Sexual Displays in Arthropods and Anurans (2005, background): “As a generalization, anurans display a greater flexibility in phase and call modification than acoustic insects (Gerhardt and Huber, 2002).”
