non-territorial nightingales prospect territories during the dawn chorus.	male songbirds usually sing when they have occupied a territory, but the territory prospecting of non-territorial males is more elusive and has been rarely studied. here, we simulated newly arriving, non-territorial males by translocating unmated male nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos) to our study site. we show that territory prospecting of translocated males was largely confined to the hour before sunrise. the radio-tagged males made extensive excursions visiting several singing males at daw ...	2004	15252973
from birdsong to speech: a plea for comparative approaches.	human language and speech are unique accomplishments. nevertheless, they share a number of characteristics with other systems of communication, and investigators have thus compared them to birdsong and the vocal signaling of nonhuman primates. particular interesting parallels concern the development of singing and speaking. these behaviors rely on auditory perception, subsequent memorization and finally, the generation of vocal imitations. several mechanisms help young individuals to deal with t ...	2004	15258628
rules of song development and their use in vocal interactions by birds with large repertoires.	songbirds are well known for settling their disputes by vocal signals, and their singing plays a dominant role. most studies on this issue have concentrated on bird species that develop and use small vocal repertoires. in this article we will go farther and focus on examples of how species with large song repertoires make use of their vocal competence. in particular, we will outline the study of interaction rules which have been elucidated by examining time- and pattern-specific relationships be ...	2004	15258629
approaches to the mechanisms of song memorization and singing provide evidence for a procedural memory.	there is growing evidence that, during song learning, birds do not only acquire 'what to sing' (the inventory of behavior), but also 'how to sing' (the singing program), including order-features of song sequencing. common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos acquire such serial information by segmenting long strings of heard songs into smaller subsets or packages, by a process reminiscent of the chunking of information as a coding mechanism in short term memory. here we report three tutoring exper ...	2004	15258630
causes and consequences of song amplitude adjustment in a territorial bird: a case study in nightingales.	vocal amplitude, one of the crucial factors for the exchange of acoustic signals, has been neglected in studies of animal communication, but recent studies on song variation in common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos have revealed new insights into its importance in the singing behavior of territorial birds. in nightingales song amplitude is not maximized per se, but is individually regulated according to the level of masking background noise. also, birds adjust their vocal intensity according ...	2004	15258642

in search of the song template.	the auditory template theory-the conversion of memorized song to produced song using feedback as an error-correction mechanism-is central to neurobiological studies of birdsong learning. the essence of the theory is the construction of a complex sound replica based on a set of both genetic and environmental instructions. these premises, as yet unchallenged, have stimulated much research on the process of vocal imitation. two somewhat distinct, but closely related streams of research have emerged ...	2004	15313782
heroines of lonely outposts or tools of the empire? british nurses in britain's model colony: ceylon, 1878-1948.	in 1878 two 'nightingale' nurses arrived in the british colony of ceylon to initiate a training programme for indigenous women in the skills and values of what was then termed 'scientific nursing'. these two women were the first of a succession of british women who went to the colony to nurse in its hospitals and to train ceylonese women for the profession. using the official records of the colonial government held in the national archives, kew and the records of the overseas nursing association ...	2004	15327654

wake structure and wingbeat kinematics of a house-martin delichon urbica.	the wingbeat kinematics and wake structure of a trained house martin in free, steady flight in a wind tunnel have been studied over a range of flight speeds, and compared and contrasted with similar measurements for a thrush nightingale and a pair of robins. the house martin has a higher aspect ratio (more slender) wing, and is a more obviously agile and aerobatic flyer, catching insects on the wing. the wingbeat is notable for the presence at higher flight speeds of a characteristic pause in th ...	2007	17264054
