Sex-role reversal in song? Females sing more frequently than males in the streak-backed oriole
Birds in which both sexes produce complex song are more common in the tropics than in the temperate north, where typically only males sing. Yet surprisingly little is known about female song characteristics in most tropical species. Here we present a comparison of female and male singing behaviors in the Streak-backed Oriole (Icterus pustulatus), a tropical songbird in which both sexes perform ...

متن کاملFacultative development of courtship and communication in juvenile male cowbirds (Molothrus ater)
We investigated effects of naturally occurring variation in experience with adult males on development of song and courtship competence in captive juvenile cowbirds. We studied birds in groups housed in large outdoor aviaries that allowed birds to regulate access to social stimulation. In two aviaries, we housed juvenile males and females either with or without adult males. Birds remained in th...
