Syntax in animal communication: its study in songbirds and other taxa Open
Many building blocks of human language can be found within the vocal communication systems of other species, most notably songbirds. One of the most prominent of these building blocks is syntax. While studies of syntax are abundant, a lack…

Solving the secrets of syntax: A review of the mechanisms influencing the syntactical organization of birdsong and human language Open
Many subcomponents of human language can be found within the vocal communication systems of other species, most notably songbirds. One of the most prominent of these subcomponents is syntax. While studies of syntax are abundant, a lack of …

Body size, habitat quality, and territory defense in Bachman’s sparrow Open
Many wild populations of animals conform to the ideal despotic distribution (IDD) in which more competitive individuals exclude less competitive individuals from high quality resources. Body size and aggressiveness are two important traits…

Evidence supporting the microbiota–gut–brain axis in a songbird Open
Recent research in mammals supports a link between cognitive ability and the gut microbiome, but little is known about this relationship in other taxa. In a captive population of 38 zebra finches ( Taeniopygia guttata ), we quantified perf…
View article: Female zebra finches prefer the songs of males who quickly solve a novel foraging task to the songs of males unable to solve the task
Female zebra finches prefer the songs of males who quickly solve a novel foraging task to the songs of males unable to solve the task Open
Correlative evidence suggests that high problem‐solving and foraging abilities in a mate are associated with direct fitness advantages, so it would benefit females to prefer problem‐solving males. Recent work has also shown that females of…

Early life conditions that impact song learning in male zebra finches also impact neural and behavioral responses to song in females Open
Early life stressors can impair song in songbirds by negatively impacting brain development and subsequent learning. Even in species in which only males sing, early life stressors might also impact female behavior and its underlying neural…

Perceptions of Competence, Strength, and Age Influence Voters to Select Leaders with Lower-Pitched Voices Open
Voters prefer leaders with lower-pitched voices because they are perceived as stronger, having greater physical prowess, more competent, and having greater integrity. An alternative hypothesis that has yet to be tested is that lower-pitche…
