      Birdsong tuned to the environment: Green hylia song varies with elevation, tree cover, and noise 

      Kirschel, A. N. G.; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Cohen, R. E.; Buermann, W.; Smith, T. B.; Slabbekoorn, H. (2009)
      Animals that communicate acoustically must compete for acoustic space in order to convey their signals effectively. Tropical rainforest birds live in an extremely diverse acoustic community consisting of other birds, ...

      Character displacement of song and morphology in African tinkerbirds 

      Kirschel, A. N. G.; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Smith, T. B. (2009)
      Divergence in acoustic signals between populations of animals can lead to species recognition failure, reproductive isolation, and speciation. Character displacement may facilitate coexistence of species in natural ...

      Predicting bird song from space 

      Smith, T. B.; Harrigan, R. J.; Kirschel, A. N. G.; Buermann, W.; Saatchi, S.; Blumstein, Daniel T.; de Kort, S. R.; Slabbekoorn, H. (2013)
      Environmentally imposed selection pressures are well known to shape animal signals. Changes in these signals can result in recognition mismatches between individuals living in different habitats, leading to reproductive ...

      Testing alternative hypotheses for evolutionary diversification in an african songbird: Rainforest refugia versus ecological gradients 

      Kirschel, A. N. G.; Slabbekoorn, H.; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Cohen, R. E.; de Kort, S. R.; Buermann, W.; Smith, T. B. (2011)
      Geographic isolation in rainforest refugia and local adaptation to ecological gradients may both be important drivers of evolutionary diversification. However, their relative importance and the underlying mechanisms of ...
