A review of vocal duetting in birds
ML Hall - Advances in the Study of Behavior, 2009 - Elsevier
Avian duetting is an unusual but taxonomically widespread phenomenon, occurring in over
400 species, representing 40% of bird families. Duets vary in form from loosely overlap** …

Avian vocalisations: the female perspective
Research on avian vocalisations has traditionally focused on male song produced by oscine
passerines. However, accumulating evidence indicates that complex vocalisations can …

Recent advances in the behavioral ecology of tropical birds
BJM Stutchbury, ES Morton - The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2008 - BioOne
Tropical birds offer unique opportunities to test ecological and evolutionary theory because
their life history traits are so diverse and different from temperate zone models upon which …

Year‐round resource defence and the evolution of male and female song in suboscine birds: social armaments are mutual ornaments
The evolution of sexually monomorphic (ie mutual) ornamentation has attracted growing
attention as a 'blind‐spot'in evolutionary biology. The popular consensus is that female …

Carotenoid-based status signaling by females in the tropical streak-backed oriole
In many tropical bird species, both males and females maintain elaborate plumage traits.
Although there is considerable evidence that many male plumage traits function as status …
