Ultrasonic Songs of Male Mice (2005, background): “More complex vocalizations are observed in many birds [2], as well as in a few mammals such as whales [3] and bats [4].”
Ambient noise, motor fatigue, and serial redundancy in chaffinch song (2006, background): “A high proportion of animal communication research has been on vocal signals with bird song as one of the most useful models (Kroodsma and Miller 1996; Marler and Slabbekoorn 2004).”
Vertebrate Sound Production and Acoustic Communication (2016, background): “…especially the zebra fi nch ( Taeniopygia guttata ), are now the model species for understanding the neuroscience of vocal learning (Doupe and Kuhl 1999 ; Marler and Slabbekoorn 2004 ; Catchpole and Slater 2008 ), and vocal control plays an important role in this body of research (Elemans 2014 ).”
Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, background): “…University of Groningen, P.O.

Box 59, 1790 AB Den Burg, Texel, The Netherlands Klasing 1998; Marler and Slabbekoorn 2004).”
Songs of male humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, are involved in intersexual interactions (2008, neutral): “All rights reserved. several functions, the degree to which it functions for the repulsion of rivals versus for mate attraction, and the aspects of singing behaviour that are important to each function, are likely to vary with species (Slater 2003; Marler & Slabbekoorn 2004).”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “We emphasize that this does not apply to the underlying structure of songs, reflected in basic measurements such as peak frequency and pace of notes, which have a largely genetic basis, even in oscine passerines with a high degree of song learning (Marler & Slabbekoorn 2004).”
Bioacoustic monitoring of animal vocal behavior for conservation (2019, background): “In male songbirds, mate attraction is a chief function of singing, as is territory defense (Catchpole & Slater, 2008; Marler & Slabbekoorn, 2004; Nowicki & Searcy, 2005).”
