Testosterone affects song modulation during simulated territorial intrusions in male black redstarts (Phoenicurus ochruros) [PDF]

, 2012
Although it has been suggested that testosterone plays an important role in resource allocation for competitive behavior, details of the interplay between testosterone, territorial aggression and signal plasticity are largely unknown.

Neural activity in cortico-basal ganglia circuits of juvenile songbirds encodes performance during goal-directed learning

eLife, 2017
Cortico-basal ganglia circuits are thought to mediate goal-directed learning by a process of outcome evaluation to gradually select appropriate motor actions.

Song Processing in the Zebra Finch Auditory Forebrain Reflects Asymmetric Sensitivity to Temporal and Spectral Structure

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Despite being commonly referenced throughout neuroscientific research on songbirds, reports of hemispheric specialization in the processing of song remain controversial.

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 ...

Prenatal Valproic Acid Exposure Affects Song Learning in Zebra Finches: A Potential Model for Vocal Development in Autism

Life
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by impairments in social abilities and communication. Studying appropriate animal models can enhance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying ...

Crop type influences edge effects on the reproduction of songbirds in sagebrush habitat near agriculture

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2014
Extensive fragmentation of the sagebrush shrubsteppe of western North America could be contributing to observed population declines of songbirds in sagebrush habitat.

Stable Propagation of a Burst Through a One-Dimensional Homogeneous Excitatory Chain Model of Songbird Nucleus HVC [PDF]

, 2006
We demonstrate numerically that a brief burst consisting of two to six spikes can propagate in a stable manner through a one-dimensional homogeneous feedforward chain of non-bursting neurons with excitatory synaptic connections.

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.
