比较了被黑顶山雀（Parus atricapillus）的叫声和歌声所吸引的鸟类种类和数量。在被遗弃的山雀巢中播放山雀的叫声，并统计接近扬声器的其他鸟类的数量和种类。当歌曲播放时，在该地区几乎没有观察到非山雀。有更多的鸟接近扬声器，并在骚扰呼叫播放期间表现出骚扰行为，这表明黑顶山雀的骚扰发声对至少10种其他鸟类有意义。这一发现支持了这样一种观点，即在一个地区受到相同捕食者影响的物种可能会通过识别彼此的捕食者叫声而受益。这种识别可能是由不同物种的骚扰叫声的相似结构以及另一个物种的叫声与捕食者的存在的学习联系所促进的。
The species and number of birds attracted to playbacks of mobbing calls and song of the black-capped chickadee, Parus atricapillus, were compared. The chickadee vocalizations were played at abandoned chickadee nests, and the numbers and species of other birds that approached the speaker were tallied. Few non-chickadees were observed in the area when the song was played. That significantly more birds approached the speaker and displayed mobbing behavior during the mobbing call playback suggests that black-capped chickadee mobbing vocalizations carry meaning for at least ten other avian species. This finding supports the idea that species subjected to the same predators in an area may benefit by recognizing each others' predator calls. This recognition may be facilitated by the similar structure of different species' mobbing calls and also a learned association of another species' call with the presence of a predator.
