| investigation of musicality in birdsong. | songbirds spend much of their time learning, producing, and listening to complex vocal sequences we call songs. songs are learned via cultural transmission, and singing, usually by males, has a strong impact on the behavioral state of the listeners, often promoting affiliation, pair bonding, or aggression. what is it in the acoustic structure of birdsong that makes it such a potent stimulus? we suggest that birdsong potency might be driven by principles similar to those that make music so effect ... | 2014 | 24036130 |
| the causes and evolutionary consequences of mixed singing in two hybridizing songbird species (luscinia spp.). | bird song plays an important role in the establishment and maintenance of prezygotic reproductive barriers. when two closely related species come into secondary contact, song convergence caused by acquisition of heterospecific songs into the birds' repertoires is often observed. the proximate mechanisms responsible for such mixed singing, and its effect on the speciation process, are poorly understood. we used a combination of genetic and bioacoustic analyses to test whether mixed singing observ ... | 2013 | 23577089 |
| female heterogamety and speciation: reduced introgression of the z chromosome between two species of nightingales. | several lines of evidence suggest that the x chromosome plays a large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. the role of the z chromosome in speciation is much less understood. to explore the role of the z chromosome in reproductive isolation, we studied nucleotide variation in two closely related bird species, the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia) and the common nightingale (l. megarhynchos). these species are isolated by incomplete prezygotic isolation and female hybrid sterility. we se ... | 2010 | 19796142 |
| information from the geomagnetic field triggers a reduced adrenocortical response in a migratory bird. | long-distance migrants regularly pass ecological barriers, like the sahara desert, where extensive fuel loads are necessary for a successful crossing. a central question is how inexperienced migrants know when to put on extensive fuel loads. beside the endogenous rhythm, external cues have been suggested to be important. geomagnetic information has been shown to trigger changes in foraging behaviour and fuel deposition rate in migratory birds. the underlying mechanism for these adjustments, howe ... | 2009 | 19717671 |

| magnetic cues and time of season affect fuel deposition in migratory thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia). | bird migration requires high energy expenditure, and long-distance migrants accumulate fat for use as fuel during stopovers throughout their journey. recent studies have shown that long-distance migratory birds, besides accumulating fat for use as fuel, also show adaptive phenotypic flexibility in several organs during migration. the migratory routes of many songbirds include stretches of sea and desert where fuelling is not possible. large fuel loads increase flight costs and predation risk, th ... | 2003 | 12639316 |
| magnetic cues trigger extensive refuelling. | long stretches of sea and desert often interrupt the migration routes of small songbirds, whose fat reserves must be restored before these can be crossed as they provide no opportunity for refuelling. to investigate whether magnetic cues might enable inexperienced migratory birds to recognize a region where they need to replenish their body fat, we caught and held thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia) in sweden just before their first migration and exposed them to a magnetic field simulating t ... | 2001 | 11689932 |
