Are olfactory cues involved in nest recognition in two social species of estrildid finches? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Reliably recognizing their own nest provides parents with a necessary skill to invest time and resources efficiently in raising their offspring and thereby maximising their own reproductive success.

An Mhc Component to Kin Recognition and Mate Choice in Birds: Predictions, Progress, and Prospects [PDF]
, 2002 The major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) has been identified as a locus influencing disease resistance, mate choice, and kin recognition in mammals and fish. However, it is unclear whether the mechanisms by which Mhc genes influence behavior in mammals

Beyond Critical Period Learning: Striatal FoxP2 Affects the Active Maintenance of Learned Vocalizations in Adulthood. [PDF]
, 2019 In humans, mutations in the transcription factor forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) result in language disorders associated with altered striatal structure. Like speech, birdsong is learned through social interactions during maturational critical periods, and it ...

Female finches prefer courtship signals indicating male vigor and neuromuscular ability.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Female songbirds use male song to discriminate among individuals and evaluate their quality as potential mates. Previous behavioral experiments in many species, including the species studied here, have shown that females will solicit copulation in ...

Chance, long tails, and inference: a non-Gaussian, Bayesian theory of vocal learning in songbirds
, 2017 Traditional theories of sensorimotor learning posit that animals use sensory error signals to find the optimal motor command in the face of Gaussian sensory and motor noise.
