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)

ChiroVox: a public library of bat calls

NEW PAPER in PeerJ! Recordings of bat echolocation and social calls are used for many research purposes from ecological studies to taxonomy. Effective use of these relies on identification of species from the recordings, but comparative recordings or detailed call descriptions to support identification are often lacking for areas with high biodiversity. The ChiroVox website … Read moreChiroVox: a public library of bat calls
