memory-dependent adjustment of vocal response latencies in a territorial songbird.vocal interactions in songbirds can be used as a model system to investigate the interplay of intrinsic singing programmes (e.g. influences from vocal memories) and external variables (e.g. social factors). when characterizing vocal interactions between territorial rivals two aspects are important: (1) the timing of songs in relation to the conspecific's singing and (2) the use of a song pattern that matches the rival's song. responses in both domains can be used to address a territorial rival. ...201322677884

communication in the third dimension: song perch height of rivals affects singing response in nightingales.many animals use long-range signals to compete over mates and resources. optimal transmission can be achieved by choosing efficient signals, or by choosing adequate signalling perches and song posts. high signalling perches benefit sound transmission and reception, but may be more risky due to exposure to airborne predators. perch height could thus reflect male quality, with individuals signalling at higher perches appearing as more threatening to rivals. using playbacks on nightingales (luscini ...201222448215

ecological character displacement in the face of gene flow: evidence from two species of nightingales.ecological character displacement is a process of phenotypic differentiation of sympatric populations caused by interspecific competition. such differentiation could facilitate speciation by enhancing reproductive isolation between incipient species, although empirical evidence for it at early stages of divergence when gene flow still occurs between the species is relatively scarce. here we studied patterns of morphological variation in sympatric and allopatric populations of two hybridizing spe ...201121609448

the ongoing quality improvement journey: next stop, high reliability.quality improvement in health care has a long history that includes such epic figures as ignaz semmelweis, the nineteenth-century obstetrician who introduced hand washing to medical care, and florence nightingale, the english nurse who determined that poor living conditions were a leading cause of the deaths of soldiers at army hospitals. systematic and sustained improvement in clinical quality in particular has a more brief and less heroic trajectory. over the past fifty years, a variety of app ...201121471473

integrating healthcare design research into practice: setting a new standard of practice.it seems safe to conclude that nearly 150 years ago, "the lady with the lamp," florence nightingale, set a course that practice-based healthcare researchers continue to follow today. in her book, notes on nursing (1860), nightingale identified light, ventilation, noise, and sanitation as elements of the environment that affected the well-being of soldiers in her care. today, we attempt to study these same relationships: those that exist between the built environment of healthcare settings, and t ...201021162432
