Journal ArticleDOI
How sleep affects the developmental learning of bird song
TL;DR: It is suggested that these oscillations correspond to competing demands of plasticity and consolidation during learning, creating repeated opportunities to reshape previously learned motor skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genetic Basis of Zebra Finch Vocalizations
TL;DR: A captive population of more than 800 zebra finches is studied with regard to the quantitative genetics of call and song characteristics to find very high heritabilities in nonlearned female call traits and considerably lower herit abilities in male call andsong traits, which are learned from a tutor and hence show much greater environmental variance than innate vocalizations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studying the song development process rationale and methods
TL;DR: These Dynamic Vocal Development (DVD) maps show how each syllable type emerges, and how the bird manipulates syllable features to eventually approximate the model song.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting hybridization in wild (Coturnix c. coturnix) and domesticated (Coturnix c. japonica) quail populations

TL;DR: In this paper, a phylogenetic tree identified two major mtDNA clades corresponding to the two subspecies, and allowed detecting 12 hybrids in wild Common quails sampled in Spain, Italy and Senegal using microsatellite markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparisons of Different Methods to Train a Young Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia Guttata) to Learn a Song
Sébastien Derégnaucourt,Colline Poirier,Anne van der Kant,Annemie Van der Linden,Manfred Gahr +4 more
TL;DR: It is observed that one-to-one live tutoring is the best method to get a fairly complete imitation of the song model, and social aspects are predominant in the success outcome of song learning in the zebra finch.
