On empirical methodology, constraints, and hierarchy in artificial grammar learning
This paper considers the AGL literature from a psycholinguistic perspective. It first presents a taxonomy of the experimental familiarization test procedures used, which is followed by a consideration of shortcomings and potential improvements of the ...

Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

The effect of white‐tailed deer density on breeding songbirds in Delaware
Most population goals for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are based solely on deer data, with little consideration for other parts of the ecosystem. A wider ecological approach is needed for more justifiable target deer densities.

Learning is enhanced by tailoring instruction to individual genetic differences. [PDF]
It is widely argued that personalized instruction based on individual differences in learning styles or genetic predispositions could improve learning outcomes.

A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The factors governing the recent declines observed in many songbirds have received much research interest, in particular whether increases of avian predators have had a negative effect on any of their prey species.

The Complete Genome of a Songbird
Abstract Bird genomes are the smallest among amniotes, but remain challenging to assemble due to their structural complexity. This study presents the first fully phased, diploid, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome for the zebra finch ( Taeniopygia guttata ), a model ...

Corticosterone as a Physiological Biomarker: Decoding the Environment‐Cort‐Energy Paradigm
Corticosterone (cort) is increasingly used as a biomarker in wildlife conservation, though debate remains over which measures best capture physiological and environmental relationships. Using structural equation modeling on a 14‐year dataset, we evaluated the total hormone, free hormone, and CBG profile hypotheses linking cort, energetic state, and ...

Separating Overlapping Birdsongs Enhances the Reliability of Avian Vocal Activity Analysis
Monitoring avian vocalizations plays a crucial role in biodiversity assessment and ecological management, yet overlapping acoustic signals in natural environments often hinder accurate recognition and estimation. This study addresses that challenge by developing and validating a deep learning‐based source separation framework specifically designed for ...

The study investigates genetic divergence among white‐crowned sparrow subspecies across North America, revealing three to four distinct genetic clusters based on genome‐wide SNP analysis, particularly highlighting divergence in the Z chromosome. Notably, Z. l. pugetensis consistently diverges from other populations, and a north–south split within Z. l.
