Oculomotor learning revisited: a model of reinforcement learning in the basal ganglia incorporating an efference copy of motor actions

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012
In its simplest formulation, reinforcement learning is based on the idea that if an action taken in a particular context is followed by a favorable outcome, then, in the same context, the tendency to produce that action should be strengthened, or ...

Exotic plants and other habitat characteristics do not impact Veery reproductive success at multiple spatial scales in northeastern Pennsylvania

Avian Conservation and Ecology
It is expected that birds have evolved nest site preferences that, on average, lead to positive fitness outcomes. It is possible, however, that mismatches occur between these preferences and reproductive success when a population experiences sudden ...

Fight song: variation in singing behaviour and song structure during natural agonistic interactions in a tropical songbird, Adelaide's Warbler (Setophaga adelaidae)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 766-778, April 2026.
Birds may use their singing behaviours and song structure as agonistic signals in territorial encounters. We conducted an observational study to test this hypothesis in male Adelaide's Warblers Setophaga adelaidae, a tropical songbird that defends a territory year‐round.

An automated workflow that combines sound‐based bird identification and localization

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 554-570, April 2026.
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 ...

Species‐specific trends in migratory passage time in Nigeria based on long‐term ringing data

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
As environmental conditions change, the ability of species to adjust their phenology is important for fitness. Advantageous adjustments are often specific to location, species, and annual cycle phase, and are particularly complex in migratory birds that must account for environmental change at vast spatio‐temporal scales.

Transitioning between preparatory and precisely sequenced neuronal activity in production of a skilled behavior

eLife, 2019
Precise neural sequences are associated with the production of well-learned skilled behaviors. Yet, how neural sequences arise in the brain remains unclear.

Age and sex effects on spring migration timing in great reed warblers: early start allows older males to arrive first

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Long‐distance migrants face numerous challenges during their migration, with the spring migration timing being particularly important, as early arrival at the breeding grounds often enhances breeding success. Both innate and environmental factors influence migration timing in birds, and the earlier arrival of males than females is common among ...
