Habituation in songbirds [PDF]
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 2009 Songbirds respond to initial playback of a recorded conspecific song in numerous ways, from changes in gene expression in the brain to changes in overt physical activity. When the same song is presented repeatedly, responses have been observed to habituate at multiple levels: molecular, cellular and organismal.

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 ...

Survival of Adult Songbirds in Boreal Forest Landscapes Fragmented by Clearcuts and Natural Openings
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2008 There exists little information on demographic responses of boreal songbirds to logging. We conducted a 4-yr (2003-2006) songbird mark-recapture study in western Newfoundland, where land cover is a naturally heterogeneous mosaic of productive spruce-fir ...

A Molecular Assessment of the Taxonomy of Iranian Sylvia Warblers (Aves; Sylviidae) [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2019 The largest genus in the Sylviidae family is Sylvia, which is the archetype for warblers. It contains up to 28 species that are distributed in the Old World. Here, we study Iranian Sylvia using cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and cytochrome b (cytb)

Dopamine Receptors in a Songbird Brain [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2010 AbstractDopamine is a key neuromodulatory transmitter in the brain. It acts through dopamine receptors to affect changes in neural activity, gene expression, and behavior. In songbirds, dopamine is released into the striatal song nucleus area X, and the levels depend on social contexts of undirected and directed singing.

Migration of North Asian Passerines
Амурский зоологический журнал, 2022 The East Asian-Australasian bird migration system is one of the most species-rich migration systems, nevertheless, we have very little information on the migration of the species that use the Asian-Australasian Flyway.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Humans and oscine songbirds share the rare capacity for vocal learning. Songbirds have the ability to acquire songs and calls of various rhythms through imitation. In several species, birds can even coordinate the timing of their vocalizations with other

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Dietary micronutrients have the ability to strongly influence animal physiology and ecology. For songbirds, dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and antioxidants are hypothesized to be particularly important micronutrients because of their ...
