The genome of a songbird [PDF]
Nature, 2010 The zebra finch is an important model organism in several fields with unique relevance to human neuroscience. Like other songbirds, the zebra finch communicates through learned vocalizations, an ability otherwise documented only in humans and a few other animals and lacking in the chicken-the only bird with a sequenced genome until now. Here we present

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.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Earlier evidence suggests that besides humans, some species of mammals and birds demonstrate visual self-recognition, assessed by the controversial “mark” test. Whereas, there are high levels of inter-individual differences amongst a single species, some

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 ...

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)

Scale and Sensitivity of Songbird Occurrence to Landscape Structure in a Harvested Boreal Forest
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2005 To explore the spatial scales at which boreal forest birds respond to landscape structure and how those responses are influenced by forest harvest, we quantified the relationship between amounts of forest in the landscape at multiple spatial scales and ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
