Neural Plasticity, 2020 Anterior forebrain pathway (AFP), a basal ganglia-dorsal forebrain circuit, significantly impacts birdsong, specifically in juvenile or deaf birds. Despite many physiological experiments supporting AFP’s role in song production, the mechanism underlying ...

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT This paper presents SmartTur+ECO, a system for tourist attractions that integrates conversational recommendation systems (CRS), virtual reality (VR) and gamification. It efficiently gathers trip data and elicits user preferences through interactions with a chatbot, addressing the user‐cold start problem common in tourism.

Sleep, Learning, and Birdsong [PDF]
ILAR Journal, 2010 Neuroethological research combines approaches derived from animal behavior and neurobiology to examine the neuronal mechanisms of behavior, often in the context of laboratory experiments on species chosen for particular adaptations. Typically, these species are not traditional laboratory animals yet they contribute greatly to a broad, evolutionarily ...

The Sanitization of the Night: Gentrification and the Everyday Temporal Politics in Belgrade
City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.ABSTRACT Urban scholarship increasingly recognizes that processes such as gentrification unfold not only through spatial transformations, but through shifts in sensory environments and everyday rhythms. In this paper, drawing on twenty‐three months of fieldwork in Belgrade, I examine how urban redevelopment (re)organizes time for middle‐class people ...

Syntax in animal communication: its study in songbirds and other taxa
Journal of Avian BiologyMany building blocks of human language can be found within the vocal communication systems of other species, most notably songbirds. One of the most prominent of these building blocks is syntax.

Honest signaling and oxidative stress: the special case of avian acoustic communication
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Much research on animal communication has addressed how costs or constraints determined by the oxidative status of an individual can assure the honesty of visual signals, such as sexually selected color ornaments. However, acoustic communication has been

Genetic Composition Is Unrelated to Song Content in a Wild Passerine
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT Birdsong is a key sexual signal that varies substantially among individuals and populations. Understanding whether song similarity reflects genetic similarity is central for evaluating its role in sexual selection, population divergence and evolutionary dynamics, although partial vocal learning can obscure this relationship in many species ...
