In many songbird species,birdsong features phonological syntax,meaning that the units within their vocal se-quences are ordered in a non-random way that adheres to a rule.While such syntactical patterns have been rich...

Dialects are a specific form of geographic variation of birdsong with relatively sharp boundaries between distinct song characteristics,which provide opportunities for focused studies of processes underlying the emerg...
Background In mega-biodiverse environments,where different species are more likely to be heard than seen,species monitoring is generally performed using bioacoustics methodologies.Furthermore,since bird vocalizations ...
This work was supported by the“Corporación Autónoma Regional de Boyacá”and the“Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia”under the research project CNV-025 of 2017,SGI-2292:“Habitat preference and popula-tion density of the Horned lark(Eremophila alpestris peregrina)in La Copa Reservoir(Toca-Boyacá-Colombia)”.
Background:Some studies have indicated that the Horned Larks(Eremophila alpestris)should be considered as a species complex.Recently it split into four species or clades and seven subclades based on genetic,morphologi...
Many species produce individually specific vocalizations and sociality is a hypothesized driver of such individuality. Previous studies of how social variation influenced individuality focused on colonial or non-colon...
The Bengalese finch song has been widely studied for its unique features and similarity to human language. For com-putational analysis the songs must be represented in songnote sequences. An automated approach for thi...
