Parental influence on begging call structure in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata): evidence of early vocal plasticity [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Begging calls are signals of need used by young birds to elicit care from adults. Different theoretical frameworks have been proposed to understand this parent–offspring communication. But relationships between parental response and begging intensity, or

Short-term weather patterns influence avian body condition during the breeding season

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Despite a large body of literature investigating the effects of long-term climate trends on birds, the effects of short-term weather on individual body condition are less established.

Songbird organotypic culture as an in vitro model for interrogating sparse sequencing networks [PDF]

, 2017
Sparse sequences of neuronal activity are fundamental features of neural circuit computation; however, the underlying homeostatic mechanisms remain poorly understood. To approach these questions, we have developed a method for cellular-resolution imaging

Forest Policy Scenario Analysis: Sensitivity of Songbird Community to Changes in Forest Cover Amount and Configuration

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2007
Changes in mature forest cover amount, composition, and configuration can be of significant consequence to wildlife populations. The response of wildlife to forest patterns is of concern to forest managers because it lies at the heart of such competing ...
