Abstract:

An undue focus on Temperate Zone oscines (songbirds or passerines) has led to a geographical bias in interpretation of song frmnction and evolution. This bias led initially to relatively simplistic theories of the ftmnction of bird song with vocalizations divided into 'songs' and 'calls'. Songs were complex, learned vocalizations, given by males in the breeding season, thnctioning in territory defence and mate attraction and stimulation. Calls, on the other hand, were simple innate vocalizations serving more immediate needs such as begging for food and raising an alarm. Female song, where it o

Abstract:

Le Quetzal Resplendissant Pharomachrus mocinno est une espèce d’oiseau tropical considérée fortement menacée par la perte de son habitat due aux activités humaines. Le Quetzal Resplendissant joue un rôle important de disperseur de graines et constitue le centre de la culture maya passée et présente. Les recherches sur cette espèce couvrent plusieurs aspects de son histoire naturelle et de sa biologie. Néanmoins, à ce jour, il n’y a aucune description détaillée du comportement et de l’écologie acoustiques de cette espèce, condition préalable à une conservation efficace de l'espèce. L’objectif d

Abstract:

The taxonomy of the taxa in the Prinia atrogularis-khasiana-superciliaris complex has changed several times in recent history. To this day, different world bird lists classify this complex as 1–3 species. These classifications are based mainly on morphological comparisons of museum specimens. No study has analysed the songs and genetics of this complex. This thesis focuses on the integrative taxonomy of this complex by analysing and comparing their song and mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene. Seventeen different variables from in total 172 individual songs were measured and analysed. A lin

Abstract:

Vocalization behavior of captive loggerhead shrikes was studied at the Avian Science and Conservation Centre of McGill University. In the first stage, calls of two pairs kept in indoor cages were individually recorded not only to catalogue these calls spectrographically and quantitatively but also to use them in identifying the birds sexually. Males vocalized 21 call figures for 16.50% of the observation time and females, 8 call figures for 2.64% of the observation time. Males contiguously delivered 1 to 11 bouts with a mean of 7.25 min for a rate of 6.06 bouts/h; females delivered 1 to 9 bout

Abstract:

Mestrado em Ecologia Aplicada<br>Ecological changes in the habitats, induced by climate change or the new paradigms of land use, have had enormous effects in the distribution of species, from the fragmentation of the populations to changes on the genome and/or their behavior. In the case of birds, these constraints may cause changes in vocal repertoires among isolated populations. It was recently confirmed that the two last populations of Red-billed Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) resident in Portugal (populations of the Serra d'Aire e Candeeiros and Sagres) have an apparent gene-flow restric

Abstract:

Alarm or warning vocalizations are produced by many animals when they detect a potential predator. However little is known about the information contained in these vocalizations. This study investigated the warning vocalisations of three passerine species, viz. the Buff-streaked Chat Oenanthe bifasciata, the Stonechat Saxicola torquata and the Bronze Mannikin Spermestes cucullatus. The study investigated whether the alarm calls for terrestrial predators differ in their acoustic structure from alarm calls emitted for aerial predators. Birds were exposed to latex terrestrial snakes and mounted a

Abstract:

Mimicry of other species' alarm calls is common among birds, but its function is often unknown. Although anti-predator functions for mimetic alarm calls have been suggested, these are yet to be tested. In this thesis I formally evaluated claims of vocal mimicry in the brown thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla) and tested if mimetic vocalisations function in preventing nest predation. Both male and female thornbills are capable of mimicking a range of different vocalisations, including heterospecific contact calls, songs, and alarm calls. Mimetic vocalizations also varied greatly in acoustic structur

Abstract:

Sound is used as a medium for communication by taxa as varied as insects, fish, amphibians, birds and mammals. In some birds like the suboscines, song is genetically encoded, whereas in parrots, hummingbirds and oscines, it is learnt. The diversity and plasticity of birdsong continues to generate interest amongst ornithologists, and many questions remain unresolved. For instance, why do some species sing hundreds of different songs while others use simple, stereotyped ones for the same purposes? Why do some birds learn not only their own species’ song, but also the songs of heterospecifics? T

Abstract:

<p>Mice produce many ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in the 30 - 100 kHz range including pup isolation calls and adult male songs. These USVs are often used as behavioral readouts of internal states, to measure effects of social and pharmacological manipulations, and for behavioral phenotyping of mouse models for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders; however, little is known about the biophysical and neurophysiological mechanisms of USV production in rodents. This lack of knowledge restricts the interpretation of data from vocalization-related experiments on mouse models of commu

Abstract:

Relationship between animal signalization and environmental conditions, where these species are living, is one of crucial topics of ecology. Using two complementary statistical approaches (fourth-corner and RLQ analyzes) I investigated geographical variation in parameters of bird vocalization in South Africa (RSA) and Lesotho. Altogether, I used nine quantitative and five qualitative acoustic traits for 472 bird species and nine environmental variables which could significantly influence parameters of their vocalization. My results supported findings of previous studies about the important eff
