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.

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.

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.

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.

Mechanisms of copying behaviour in zebra finches
Behavioural Processes, 2014When an individual is faced with choosing between unfamiliar food options, it may benefit initially by choosing the option chosen by other animals so avoiding potentially poisonous food. It is not clear which cues the naïve forager learns from the demonstrator for choosing between food options.

Melanism in two Zebra Finches is described. The association of melanism with natural dark markings, and possibly with latent plumage characteristics, is briefly discussed.

Visual System Alterations in White Zebra Finches
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008Visual 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 ...

Tertiary sex ratios of Zebra Finches Poephila guttata are weakly but consistently male-biased (52.1%) over a broad geographic range. The cause of this bias does not appear to be differential mortality of adults, because adult males and females remain resident at study sites for equal lengths of time.

Incestuous Mating in Zebra Finches
Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 1981AbstractZebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) were tested in quadruplets in which they had the choice of mating with a close relative or a non‐relative. The majority of birds chose to mate incestuously and possible reasons for this finding are discussed.ZusammenfassungZebrafinken, denen die Wahl gelassen wird, sich mit einem nahe ver‐wandten oder mit ...
