#lyrebirds are the best, but fairy wrens are pretty cool too! Bonnie and Clyde live in our apple tree and Bonnie is quite the songstress - and feisty to boot! A lovely example of female song Female Bird Song Fairywren Project 😊

They also face conservation challenges in winter, but with a bias- females are losing double the amount of habitat that males are. Efforts such as Female Bird Song and #Galbatross Project are bringing attention to overlooked female birds audubon.org/magazine/sprin…

I’m very excited about this game. Match the male #birds with their females. That’s right - you have to know about both sexes. Might there be a metaphor there for ornithology in general🤔?

“The consequence of deforestation resulting in pushing back territories to the forest remnants along streams may be a shortening of the song’s active range, in particular, in females.” journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

“Our results suggest that these two aspects of female behavior, acoustic complexity and vocal coordination with males, have evolved independently and have different functions in communication.” doi.org/10.1111/eth.13…

Our article on #Parrot vocal mimicry is out today in Scientific Reports! We'll celebrate by summarizing results each day this week. To begin. . . what species learns the most human sounds? Grey Parrot, of course. Article:rdcu.be/c00D1 Survey: bit.ly/2S7nx3K

Next #Parrot result. . . this one is a puzzle. Why did we have so many extra males in the data-set? Perhaps because they were actually females. These graphs are telling. Our takeaway: When a parrot's sex is uncertain, people tend to assume it's male.

Interested in a Master's studying birdsong? Lab alumna Karan Odom is a #NewPI at University of the Pacific. She's seeking Master's students to study hormonal & genetic regulation of female song and sexual dimorphism in song. Details: karanodom.com Please share and RT!

Karan Odom’s lab at University of the Pacific is seeking Master's students interested in studying the hormonal and genetic regulation of female song and evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in birdsong. See karanodom.com for more information!

Female Bird Song the hits just keep coming!

A true privilege to be a part of this new paper led by Sonia Kleindorfer accepted in American Naturalist - "Nestling begging calls resemble maternal vocal signatures when mothers call slowly to embryos" . Congratulations all! #femalesong #fairywrens #femalebirdvocalisations Female Bird Song

How have we studied female bird song? Does female song function the same way as male song? Sometimes. . . Congratulations to Cristina Barros for summarizing the literature on this topic with Karina Sanchez, PhD authors.elsevier.com/c/1jczNmjM6FvO

Lots of great papers about female bird song came out in 2024. Here’s just one example link.springer.com/article/10.113…
