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.

Fundamental constraints in synchronous muscle limit superfast motor control in vertebrates

eLife, 2017
Superfast muscles (SFMs) are extremely fast synchronous muscles capable of contraction rates up to 250 Hz, enabling precise motor execution at the millisecond time scale.

Curation of microarray oligonucleotides and corresponding ESTs/cDNAs used for gene expression analysis in zebra finches

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objectives Zebra finches are a major model organism for investigating mechanisms of vocal learning, a trait that enables spoken language in humans. The development of cDNA collections with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and microarrays has allowed for ...

Development of temporal structure in zebra finch song

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2013
Zebra finch song has provided an excellent case study in the neural basis of sequence learning, with a high degree of temporal precision and tight links with precisely timed bursting in forebrain neurons. To examine the development of song timing, we measured the following four aspects of song temporal structure at four age ranges between 65 and 375 ...

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 ...
