- On the relationship between, and measurement of, amplitude and frequency in birdsong (2012, background): “In support of differences of this magnitude, the authors cite a study by Anderson et al. (2008), which found large differences in amplitude (up to 36 dB) between songs of song sparrows,Melospiza melodia.”
- Low-amplitude song predicts attack in a North American wood warbler (2010, background): “These measurements were consistent with those found in song sparrows where the cutoff between soft and broadcast songs was determined to be 77 dB SPL (Anderson et al. 2008).”
- Female zebra finches prefer high-amplitude song (2010, background): “Several studies have measured differences in song amplitude between males and reported marked interindividual variation ranging from 5 to 15 dB SPL (Heuwinkel 1978; Dabelsteen 1981; Brumm & Slater 2006; Anderson et al. 2008; Brumm 2009).”
- Song as an aggressive signal in songbirds (2009, background): “…which are identical to song types from the normal broadcast repertoire, and ‘warbled soft songs’, which are not in the normal repertoire, meaning they are never sung at high amplitude, and which have distinctive acoustic features such as a broader-frequency bandwidth (Anderson et al. 2008b).”
- Humpback whale song hierarchical structure: Historical context and discussion of current classification issues (2013, background): “Within the “eventual variety” category, variation may exist between repeats of the same song type, but this variation is less than that between song types (Stoddard et al. 1988, Anderson et al. 2008).”
