EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE AUDITORY DETECTION PROCESS ON AVIAN POINT COUNTS (2007, background): “As Slabbekoorn (2004) noted in his recent review of the ecology of birdsong, “singing in the wild is not a simple process.””
A Field Evaluation of Distance Measurement Error in Auditory Avian Point Count Surveys (2007, background): “…to the difficulty of localization) are likely due to variations in sound intensity, attenuation, and reverberations related to habitat structure, and local environmental factors such as wind, topography, and ambient noise (Richards and Wiley 1980, Wiley 1991, Slabbekoorn 2004, Simons et al. 2007).”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, background): “Changes in vocal parameters may therefore affect the level of attenuation and degradation, potentially reducing transmission through vegetation or into and out of a nest (Slabbekoorn 2004).”
SOUND TRANSMISSION AND SONG DIVERGENCE: A COMPARISON OF URBAN AND FOREST ACOUSTICS (2007, background): “Furthermore, this frequency is not attenuated through interference by the so-called ‘‘ground effect’’ for the current transmission pathway measures (Embleton 1996, Slabbekoorn 2004a).”
