Humans Discriminate Individual Zebra Finches by their Song
Biolinguistics, 2021 Comparative experiments have greatly advanced the field of biolinguistics in the 21st century, but so far very little research has focused on human perception of non-human animal vocalizations.

The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. In this study, we take advantage

High heart rate associated early repolarization causes J‐waves in both zebra finch and mouse
Physiological Reports, 2021 High heart rates are a feature of small endothermic—or warm‐blooded—mammals and birds. In small mammals, the QT interval is short, and local ventricular recordings reveal early repolarization that coincides with the J‐wave on the ECG, a positive ...

Brain transcriptome of the violet-eared waxbill Uraeginthus granatina and recent evolution in the songbird genome [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Songbirds are important models for the study of social behaviour and communication. To complement the recent genome sequencing of the domesticated zebra finch, we sequenced the brain transcriptome of a closely related songbird species, the violet-eared ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Song learning in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) is a prototypical example of a complex learned behavior, yet knowledge of the underlying molecular processes is limited. Therefore, we characterized transcriptomic (RNA-sequencing) and epigenomic (RRBS,

Frontiers in Zoology, 2022 Background Due to their cost effectiveness, ease of use, and unlimited supply, immortalized cell lines are used in place of primary cells for a wide range of research purposes, including gene function studies, CRISPR-based gene editing, drug metabolism ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 The zebra finch is one of the most commonly studied songbirds in biology, particularly in genomics, neuroscience and vocal communication. However, this species lacks a robust cell line for molecular biology research and reagent optimization. We generated

Long-term Devocalization of Zebra Finches [PDF]
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2020 Songbirds, such as the zebra finch, are a popular animal model for studying the neural basis of vocal and complex skill learning. Adult male zebra finches produce courtship song toward females (referred to as 'directed song') and recording and analyzing sounds of directed song along with underlying neural activity is important for investigating ...

The zebra finch neuropeptidome: prediction, detection and expression
BMC Biology, 2010 Background Among songbirds, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is an excellent model system for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviours such as vocal communication, learning and social interactions.

The genome of a songbird [PDF]
, 2010 The zebra finch is an important model organism in several fields1,2 with unique relevance to human neuroscience3,4. Like other songbirds, the zebra finch communicates through learned vocalizations, an ability otherwise documented only in humans and a few
