A method for estimating songbird abundance with drones
Drone Systems and Applications, 2022 Using drones to conduct airborne bioacoustics surveys is a potentially useful new way to estimate the abundance of vocal bird species. Here we show that by using two audio recorders suspended from a quadcopter drone it is possible to estimate distances ...

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

Birds, 2021 To understand the social interactions among songbirds, extracting the timing, position, and acoustic properties of their vocalizations is essential. We propose a framework for automatic and fine-scale extraction of spatial-spectral-temporal patterns of ...

Lingual articulation in songbirds [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 Lingual articulation in humans is one of the primary means of vocal tract resonance filtering that produces the characteristic vowel formants of speech. In songbirds, the function of the tongue in song has not been thoroughly examined, although recent research has identified the oropharyngeal-esophageal cavity as a resonance filter that is actively ...

Inhibition of miR-128 Enhances Vocal Sequence Organization in Juvenile Songbirds
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 The molecular mechanisms underlying learned vocal communication are not well characterized. This is a major barrier for developing treatments for conditions affecting social communication, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Landbird trends in protected areas using time‐to‐event occupancy models
Ecosphere, 2019 Global populations of wildlife are affected by human activity, land cover change, and climate change. Long‐term monitoring programs across large spatial scales are required to understand how these and other factors affect wildlife populations.
