Territoriality, Social Bonds, and the Evolution of Communal Signaling in Birds (2016, unknown): “…or group bonds, suggesting a role for communal signals in guarding against extra-pair or extra-group fertilization (Sonnenschein and Reyer, 1983; Seddon and Tobias, 2006; Tobias and Seddon, 2009), defending positions in partnerships or groups (Rogers et al., 2007) or signaling commitment…”
The evolution of song in female birds in Europe (2007, background): “Females may sing either in solo or duet, for broadly the same reasons as males (Langmore 1998; Hall 2004), most importantly to deter intrasexual competitors from territories or mates (Brown and Lemon 1979; Sonnenschein and Reyer 1983; Arcese et al. 1988; Hobson and Sealy 1990; Kriner and Schwabl 199”
Recent Advances in the Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds (2008, background): “…birds have a much smaller clutch size than their temperate zone counterparts, a fundamental latitudinal difference that has long been recognized (Skutch 1949), and still generates a great deal of theoretical and empirical study (Ghalambor and Martin 2001, Martin et al. 2001, Ricklefs and…”
Coordination between the sexes for territorial defence in a duetting fairy-wren (2008, unknown): “Females guarding the partnership (or guarding the pair bond or mate defence, Seddon & Tobias 2006) may indicate sexual conflict if they are attempting to thwart male attempts to attract replacement or additional females, but may be cooperative if, for example, a territory has sufficient resources…”
Vocal communication at the nest between mates in wild zebra finches: a private vocal duet? (2010, background): “It has also been hypothesized that duets may reflect a conflict between the sexes and could thus serve a function in mate guarding or mate manipulation (Levin 1996a, b; Wachtmeister 2001; Seddon & Tobias 2006).”
