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 ...

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.

A hypothesis on improving foreign accents by optimizing variability in vocal learning brain circuits [PDF]
, 2015 Rapid vocal motor learning is observed when acquiring a language in early childhood, or learning to speak another language later in life. Accurate pronunciation is one of the hardest things for late learners to master and they are almost always left with

Ecology and Evolution, 2016 The early developmental trajectory is affected by genetic and environmental factors that co‐depend and interact often in a complex way. In order to distinguish their respective roles, we used canaries (Serinus canaria) of different genetic backgrounds ...

Songbirds can learn flexible contextual control over syllable sequencing
eLife, 2021 The flexible control of sequential behavior is a fundamental aspect of speech, enabling endless reordering of a limited set of learned vocal elements (syllables or words). Songbirds are phylogenetically distant from humans but share both the capacity for

Early Auditory Experience Modifies Neuronal Firing Properties in the Zebra Finch Auditory Cortex
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 Songbirds learn to sing much as humans learn to speak. In zebra finches, one of the premier songbird models, males learn to sing for later courtship through a multistep learning process during the developmental period.
