Zebra finch as a developmental model

Genesis, 2015
SummaryThe 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.

Adenohypophysectomy in the zebra finch

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1991
Castration 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.

Song Lateralization in the Zebra Finch

Hormones and Behavior, 1997
The 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, 1963
O2-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 Finches and cognition

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2010
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, 2014
When 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.
