Fight song: variation in singing behaviour and song structure during natural agonistic interactions in a tropical songbird, Adelaide's Warbler (Setophaga adelaidae)

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 766-778, April 2026.
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

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 554-570, April 2026.
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 ...

The abundance of Greater Sage-Grouse as a proxy for the abundance of sagebrush-associated songbirds in Wyoming, USA

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
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.

The changing trend in songbirds’ abundance, variety and physical condition in Connecticut’s forestry habitat

open access: yesMetsanduslikud Uurimused, 2019
Songbirds are facing rapid population declines in Connecticut due to habitat loss. Man-made habitats such as powerline corridors are one of the few remaining ideal habitats for songbirds in the state.

Species‐specific trends in migratory passage time in Nigeria based on long‐term ringing data

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
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.

Age and sex effects on spring migration timing in great reed warblers: early start allows older males to arrive first

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
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

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
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

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
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]
