An automated workflow that combines sound‐based bird identification and localization
Ibis, EarlyView.Field studies of bird communities typically require the fine‐scale mapping of individuals. Passive acoustic monitoring combined with localization of individuals is a promising approach to gather such data. Various approaches for the identification of species and localization of individuals have been proposed, but there is so far no fully automated ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

A comprehensive account of sound sequence imitation in the songbird.
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2016 The amazing imitation capabilities of songbirds show that they can memorize sensory sequences and transform them into motor activities which in turn generate the original sound sequences.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rhythm is an essential part of human music. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the production of rhythmicity in nonhuman animal vocalizations. Novel methods have found widespread rhythmic behaviors—including those with music‐like properties—among nonhuman animals.

Semiparametric regression for circular response with application in ecology
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A regression model for a circular response variable depending on a linear or a circular predictor is presented in this paper. The conditional density belongs to a parametric flexible family that allows for asymmetry and varying peakedness around the modal direction.

A simple computational principle predicts vocal adaptation dynamics across age and error size
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 The brain uses sensory feedback to correct errors in behavior. Songbirds and humans acquire vocal behaviors by imitating the sounds produced by adults and rely on auditory feedback to correct vocal errors throughout their lifetimes.

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

Heliyon, 2019 Background: The immediate early gene ZENK (acronym zif268, Egr-1, NGFI-A, krox24) has been used extensively in songbird research (Mello et al., 1992; Jarvis and Nottebohm, 1997), as well as other research areas.
