Blumstein earned a PhD in animal behavior in 1994 and a MS in animal behavior in 1990, both from the University of California, Davis. He earned a BA in environmental, population, and organismic biology as well as environmental conservation from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1986. Born in Philadelphia, he graduated from Conestoga High School, in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia. He was elected a fellow of the Society of Biology in 2010 and the Animal Behavior Society in 2012. He served as the editor of the journal ''Animal Behaviour'' from 2006 to 2009 and has been the editor of ''Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health'' since 2011. He has served various editorial roles for the journals ''Evolution: This View of Life'', ''The Quarterly Review of Biology'', ''Behavioral Ecology'', ''Biology Letters'', and ''Ethology''.
Inspired by the screams of a baby marmot, he conducted a study, published in ''Biology Letters'', investigating nonlinearities in sound and their effect on response. The report found that the addition of non-linear elements produced stronger responses and valence, which implies that nonlinearities in sounds make them more frightening. Provided by Wikipedia
