Development of auditory-vocal perceptual skills in songbirds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Songbirds are one of the few groups of animals that learn the sounds used for vocal communication during development. Like humans, songbirds memorize vocal sounds based on auditory experience with vocalizations of adult "tutors", and then use auditory ...

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 comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]
, 2007 Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Altering Opioid Neuromodulation in the Songbird Basal Ganglia Modulates Vocalizations
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Although the interplay between endogenous opioids and dopamine (DA) in the basal ganglia (BG) is known to underlie diverse motor functions, few studies exist on their role in modulating speech and vocalization.

Endogenous Programs and Flexibility in Bird Migration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Endogenous programs that regulate annual cycles have been shown for many taxa, including protists, arthropods, fish, mammals and birds. In migration biology, these programs are best known in songbirds.

Wanted: A systematic review of the most trafficked songbirds in a Neotropical hotspot
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 The illegal wildlife trade is one of the main factors of biodiversity loss worldwide. Brazil, the largest country in South America, is a hub of wildlife trafficking, but availability of information on the issue is constrained to specific regions and to ...
