Why do females sing?—pair communication and other song functions in eastern bluebirds
- Biology, Environmental ScienceBehavioral Ecology
- 2019
A clear link between the function of female song in pair communication and the likely selective force of long-term pair bonds acting on eastern bluebird reproductive success is demonstrated.

ABSTRACT Variation in bird song occurs at many levels, including between sexes and among geographic regions. Variation can be due to differences in function, habitat, selection or drift. Quantifying…
Female song in eastern bluebirds varies in acoustic structure according to social context

Some of the first evidence that female song structure may be variable between functional contexts and that females may alter their song structure to encode additional information, such as individual identity is presented.

This framework focuses research specifically on males, particularly during the north temperate breeding season – reflecting and thereby reinforcing this framework and providing recommendations for next steps to build an inclusive information framework.

Migratory return rates and breeding fidelity in Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis)
- Environmental ScienceThe Wilson Journal of Ornithology

The data indicate that Eastern Bluebirds have high return and reunion rates, and many of the bluebirds that mated together in previous breeding seasons appear to not only reunite the next year, but they also return to the same territory and nesting cavity.

To function effectively, animal signals must transmit through the environment to receivers, and signal transmission properties depend on signal form. Here we investigated how the transmission of…

A female songbird out-sings male conspecifics during simulated territorial intrusions

This is the first songbird study to show a stronger vocal role in territory defence for females than males, and suggests that intrasexual selection may be greater among females than among males.
Losses of female song with changes from tropical to temperate breeding in the New World blackbirds
- Biology, Environmental ScienceProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Recon reconstructing evolutionary changes in female song and breeding latitude in the New World blackbirds (Icteridae), a family with both temperate and tropical representatives, provides strong evidence that members of this group have moved repeatedly from tropical to temperate breeding ranges and that these range shifts were associated with losses of female song more often than expected by chance.

The results suggest that female plumage and female song likely evolved together under similar selection pressures and that their respective functions are reinforcing.
Female song and aggression show contrasting relationships to reproductive success when habitat quality differs

The results suggest that female–female contest rules and the intensity of competition differ according to resource availability, which may alter how selection acts on female competitive traits.

Four independent failures to replicate the presumed manipulation of male attractiveness in zebra finches by adding red or green color bands are reported, and it is shown that color bands seem to affect neither male courtship rate nor male body mass.

It is concluded that the evolution of sexual signals can be unpredictable when their physiology affords multiple or, as here, opposing ways of advertising individual quality.

A meta-analysis using data from 43 published meta-analyses in ecology and evolution with 93 estimates of mean effect size using Pearson's r and 136 estimates using Hedges' d or g revealed that the mean amount of variance (r2) explained was 2.51–5.42%.

Use and possible functions of large song repertoires by male Eastern Bluebirds
- Biology, Environmental Science

Male bluebirds sing during interactions with conspecific males, indicating an aggressive or territorial function, to facilitate the transfer of food to incubating or brooding females, nestling, and fledglings, and to warn mates, nestlings, or fledgling about the presence of a potential predator.

Overall, the general organization was similar in both sexes, and some females sang complex song bouts of more than 30 seconds of uninterrupted song, demonstrating that some females produced a more complex song than some males.
