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 ...

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.

Songbirds can learn flexible contextual control over syllable sequencing [PDF]
, 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

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 ...
