Birds may use their singing behaviours and song structure as agonistic signals in territorial encounters. We conducted an observational study to test this hypothesis in male Adelaide's Warblers Setophaga adelaidae, a tropical songbird that defends a territory year‐round.

An automated workflow that combines sound‐based bird identification and localization
Field studies of bird communities typically require the fine‐scale mapping of individuals. Passive acoustic monitoring combined with localization of individuals is a promising approach to gather such data. Various approaches for the identification of species and localization of individuals have been proposed, but there is so far no fully automated ...

Surrogate-species concepts are prevalent in animal conservation. Such strategies advocate for conservation by proxy, wherein one species is used to represent other taxa to obtain a conservation objective.

Species‐specific trends in migratory passage time in Nigeria based on long‐term ringing data
As environmental conditions change, the ability of species to adjust their phenology is important for fitness. Advantageous adjustments are often specific to location, species, and annual cycle phase, and are particularly complex in migratory birds that must account for environmental change at vast spatio‐temporal scales.

Long‐distance migrants face numerous challenges during their migration, with the spring migration timing being particularly important, as early arrival at the breeding grounds often enhances breeding success. Both innate and environmental factors influence migration timing in birds, and the earlier arrival of males than females is common among ...

Programmed DNA elimination of germline development genes in songbirds
Songbirds have extensive germline–soma genome differences due to developmental elimination of a germline-specific chromosome (GRC). Here, the authors show that the GRC contains dozens of expressed developmental genes, some of which have been on the GRC ...

Evaluation of drones as a tool for multi‐species nest surveys on linear rights‐of‐way
This paper examines the use of drones with infrared cameras as a tool in the detection of bird nests on linear rights‐of‐way, in comparison to standard ground‐based nest surveys. Abstract The varying application of drone use in wildlife research has expanded in recent years. With the ability to utilize a variety of different sensors (e.g., infrared [IR]
