Detection and discrimination of natural calls in masking noise by birds: estimating the active space of a signal

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of birds to detect and discriminate natural vocal signals in the presence of masking noise using operant conditioning was evaluated using a set of birds: budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus, and zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata.
Book ChapterDOI

Hearing in Birds and Reptiles

TL;DR: Any comparison of hearing between reptiles and birds is somewhat unbalanced because it also involves a comparison across methodologies: hearing estimates from anatomical and physiological data in the case of reptiles along with behavioral estimates of hearing capabilities in birds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic sequences in non-human animals: a tutorial review and prospectus.

Arik Kershenbaum, +43 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: A uniform, systematic, and comprehensive approach to studying sequences is proposed, with the goal of clarifying research terms used in different fields, and facilitating collaboration and comparative studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of changes in timbre and harmonicity in complex sounds by zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) and budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus).

TL;DR: The overall superiority of birds in discriminating inharmonicity suggests that birds and mammals may use different strategies in processing these complex harmonic signals, and psychoacoustic tests with more complex stimuli such as vocalizations frequently uncover evidence of perceptual specializations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Call Learning in Black-capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus): The Role of Experience in the Development of ‘Chick-A-Dee’ Calls

TL;DR: The data suggest that learning may play a different role in the development of different phonological units within one vocalization, and illustrate the importance of considering processes other than simple imitation in theDevelopment of avian vocalizations.
