Perception of missing fundamentals in zebra finches and Bengalese finches.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of Japan (E), 2000 Perception of missing fundamental is widespread in vertebrate animals but seldom it is discussed with the relationship with vocal signals used by the animals.We tested the perception of missing fundamentals in two species of closely related finches with widely different vocal signals.Zebra finches and Bengalese finches were trained, in a Go-Nogo ...

Examining Behavioral Compatibility in Zebra Finches
, 2018 The strength of a social relationship may influence how well conspecifics can coordinate their behaviors. The monogamous zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is well-suited for studies of coordination because pair-bonded partners strive to coordinate their parental care efforts to increase reproductive success. This study evaluates how captive zebra finch

Adenohypophysectomy in the zebra finch
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1991Castration and replacement of gonadal steroids have been used extensively in order to examine the hormonal regulation of song and sexual behaviors in passerine birds. However, recent studies have reported that levels of gonadal hormones may remain high following castration. In order to circumvent this problem, adenohypophysectomy might be advantageous.

Inspiteofattractingsignificantattentionasamodelforsonglearning,sexualimprintingandmate-choice,there has been surprisingly little research on the general cognitive abilities of Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata), from spatial memory and social learning to more complex tests of social cognition such as Theory of Mind.

Song Lateralization in the Zebra Finch
Hormones and Behavior, 1997The neural mechanisms for bird song commonly are lateralized, depending greatly on the integrity of the left song system and responding much less to manipulations of the system on the right. These results suggest that it is advantageous for the mechanisms controlling song to be lateralized and in this direction.

Zebra finch as a developmental model
genesis, 2015SummaryThe domesticated zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is a well‐established animal model for studying vocal learning. It is also a tractable model for developmental analyses. The finch genome has been sequenced and methods for its transgenesis have been reported.

Evaporative cooling in the zebra finch
Experientia, 1963O2-Verbrauch und Gesamt-Wasserverdunstung wurden bei australischen Zebrafinken gemessen. Bei geringem Warmeaustausch zwischen Korper und Umgebung durch Strahlung, Konvektion und Ableitung konnen diese Wustenvogel den fur die Warmebilanz erforderlichen Warmeabfluss einzig durch Verdunstung auf dem normalen Niveau halten.

![Figure][1] When an ardent male zebra finch starts chirruping, he isn't whistling just for pleasure. With each rendition of the song that he learned as a fledgling, he advertises his fitness, hoping to attract a mate.

Visual System Alterations in White Zebra Finches
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 1996Visual system anomalies in albino mammals are generally seen to be caused by a lack of retinal pigment and misrouting of retinofugal optic fibers. This study shows that the central visual system of white zebra finches is physiologically different from normally colored (wild type) birds, although the eye pigmentation and the retinofugal projection ...
