Natural Resistance to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Estrildid Finches Reveals Macrophage GPR183 as a Potential Therapeutic Target

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
Ovarian macrophage depletion reverses OHSS resistance in estrildid finches and exacerbates OHSS symptoms in rats. Activating macrophage GPR183 alleviates OHSS by reducing pro‐inflammatory factors, increasing immunomodulatory molecules, remodeling CD44/SDC4‐mediated communication, and restoring immune homeostasis.

Epigenetic‐Based Evidence for Distinct Effects of Age, Sex, and Experience in Developmental Critical Period Learning

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Although much is known about the encoding of experience, how the brain organizes neural circuits capable of learning and memory formation is largely unstudied. Canonical critical periods emerge from a convergence of maturation‐ and experience‐dependent processes.

Evidence of Small Changes in Daytime Body Temperature in Active Black‐Capped Chickadees in Response to Supplemental Food Availability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We experimentally manipulated the presence of supplemental food at a bird feeder and monitored subcutaneous temperature (Tsub) in 15 overwintering black‐capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) during feeder visits to investigate whether food availability shapes daytime Tsub.

Protein-Protein Interaction Among the FoxP Family Members and their Regulation of Two Target Genes, VLDLR and CNTNAP2 in the Zebra Finch Song System

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
The Forkhead transcription factor FOXP2 is implicated in speech perception and production. The avian homolog, FoxP21 contributes to song learning and production in birds.

Cannabinoid exposure during zebra finch sensorimotor vocal learning persistently alters expression of endocannabinoid signaling elements and acute agonist responsiveness

BMC Neuroscience, 2011
Background Previously we have found that cannabinoid treatment of zebra finches during sensorimotor stages of vocal development alters song patterns produced in adulthood.

Neural expression and post-transcriptional dosage compensation of the steroid metabolic enzyme 17β-HSD type 4

BMC Neuroscience, 2010
Background Steroids affect many tissues, including the brain. In the zebra finch, the estrogenic steroid estradiol (E2) is especially effective at promoting growth of the neural circuit specialized for song.

Insights into the evolution of Darwin’s finches from comparative analysis of the Geospiza magnirostris genome sequence

BMC Genomics, 2013
Background A classical example of repeated speciation coupled with ecological diversification is the evolution of 14 closely related species of Darwin’s (Galápagos) finches (Thraupidae, Passeriformes).

Individual recognition of opposite sex vocalizations in the zebra finch

Scientific Reports, 2017
Individual vocal recognition plays an important role in the social lives of many vocally active species. In group-living songbirds the most common vocalizations during communal interactions are low-intensity, soft, unlearned calls.
