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...
Many songbirds produce song-flights;however,the function,vocal and motor characteristics,as well as the diel and seasonal variation of song-flight in songbirds remain not well understood.Here,we studied two types of s...

Background:The dynamics and structure of many bird communities are changing due to the global warming and changes in the land use and management.The Ebro Valley constitutes one of the chief wintering areas for several...
Stopover niche utilization of birds during migration has not gained much attention so far,since the majority of the studies focuses on breeding or wintering areas.However,stopover sites are crucial for migratory birds...
