Context-dependent organization of birdsong: experimental evidence from the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
While acoustic signals are highly flexible, their context-dependent changes remain poorly understood. Birdsong is a model of choice to explore these aspects. As repetition and diversity of song elements largely determine the overall characteristics of signals and such song characteristics as versatility and repertoire size can plastically change in different social contexts, we hypothesized that … Read moreContext-dependent organization of birdsong: experimental evidence from the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
