• What makes a cry a cry? A review of infant distress vocalizations (2012, background): “Capture calls produced by adult bats (Russ et al., 2004), birds (Martin et al., 2011) and, to a lesser extent, amphibians (Hödl and Gollman, 1986) have been closelyexamined, perhaps reflecting the relative ease of handling these species without tranquilizers and considerable interest in vocal…”
• Sound familiar? Acoustic similarity provokes responses to unfamiliar heterospecific alarm calls (2011, background): “The design of alarm calls reflects their function as a signal and their efficacy in a particular context, and so the calls of different species can be acoustically similar as a result of convergence on the most effective design for a particular environment (Marler 1955; Russ et al. 2004).”
