Daily and seasonal patterns in the singing activity of birds in East China

Sabah Mushtaq Puswal et al.

Summary: The vocal behaviour of birds can change daily and seasonally. Understanding the daily and seasonal acoustic activity patterns of birds helps to understand their behavioural ecology and is crucial for designing effective monitoring protocols. We studied daily and seasonal acoustic activity patterns for a complete annual cycle of three bird species in a nature reserve in Anhui Province, China. We found large temporal variation in singing activity within a day and between seasons.

Female cuckoo calls elicit vigilance and escape responses from wild free-range chickens

Xingyi Jiang et al.

Summary: The study found that female cuckoos can deceive both their hosts and non-host birds with their calls, eliciting vigilance and escape responses, further confirming their accuracy.

Vocal activity of the Ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum) is strongly correlated with moon phase and nocturnal temperature

Cristian Perez-Granados et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of exogenous factors on the vocal behavior of the Ferruginous pygmy-owl in the Brazilian Pantanal. It found that the species' vocal activity was positively associated with a higher percentage of moon illumination, and negatively associated with nocturnal air temperature. Relative air humidity and daily rainfall did not affect its vocal activity.

Effective conspecific communication with aberrant calls in the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)

Csaba Moskat et al.

Summary: The common cuckoo is known for its distinctive call to mark territory and deterring intruders. A rare aberrant version of the call did not hinder communication efficiency among male cuckoos, as their responses were mainly influenced by the first note of the call.

Female common cuckoo calls dampen the mobbing intensity of great reed warbler hosts

Attila Marton et al.

Summary: The study showed that female brood parasite calls effectively reduce the aggression of great reed warbler hosts, enabling parasites to approach the nest stealthily and avoid attacks from the larger host bird.

Effects of temperature and season on birds' dawn singing behavior in a forest of eastern China

Sabah Mushtaq Puswal et al.

Summary: The study examined the dawn singing behavior of four common bird species in Yaoluoping National Nature Reserve in eastern China, and found that different bird species exhibit varying degrees of sensitivity to temperature and seasonal changes, indicating that dawn singing activity is species-specific.

Female cuckoo calls elicit anti-predatory behavior in birds

Changjie Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that although female common cuckoos imperfectly mimic sparrowhawks, they can mislead other birds into displaying anti-predatory behavior, supporting the newly proposed hypothesis that female cuckoos mimicry of hawk calls can not only fool their hosts, but also non-host species.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Chaco Chachalaca (Ortalis canicollis) Over a Year: Vocal Activity Pattern and Monitoring Recommendations

Cristian Perez-Granados et al.

Summary: The declining Neotropical bird, Chaco Chachalaca, was monitored using passive acoustic monitoring and automated signal recognition software for the first time. The study revealed the vocal behavior of the species and proposed an acoustic monitoring protocol. The species was found to be vocally active throughout the day and night, with breeding season occurring in the last months of the dry season in the Brazilian Pantanal.
