Mate vocal recognition in the Scopoli’s shearwater Calonectris diomedea: do females and males share the same acoustic code?
Sexual and individual signatures are encoded in the temporal rate of Cape gannet display calls
TLDR
This study provides the first evidence of sex-specific and individual vocal signatures in adult breeding Cape gannets, and could potentially be used as a non-invasive method for field-based sex-determination in research and monitoring projects on Capegannets.
Female calling? Song responses to conspecific call playbacks in nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos
Acoustic differentiation in a sub-oscine calls: females call with more entropy than males
TLDR
Sexual acoustic dimorphism in the peent calls of Vermilion Flycatcher is shown, and the possibility that variation in peent entropy may allow for sex discrimination in this species is open.
Sex identification in King Penguins Aptenodytes patagonicus through morphological and acoustic cues
TLDR
It is shown that King Penguins can be sexed based on a single morphological measurement of the beak with an accuracy of 79% and a sex-specific syntax in adult King Penguin calls that provided a 100% accurate method to distinguish between the sexes in the study population.
Neighbour recognition in two sister songbird species with a simple and complex repertoire – a playback study
TLDR
It is suggested that specific changes in song organization, for example the tendency of individuals to insert a distinct phrase at the beginning of each song, may facilitate individual recognition and compensate for increased repertoire size in willow warblers.
Individually distinctive vocalization in Common Cuckoos (Cuculus canorus)
TLDR
The individuality of the advertisement calls of male Common Cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) is explored with the aims of describing the ways in which individuals differ from each other acoustically, and characterizing the practical requirements for using statistical learning methods for individual recognition.
Individually Specific Call Feature Is Not Used to Neighbour-Stranger Discrimination: The Corncrake Case
TLDR
This study tested whether an individual-specific call characteristic – namely the length of the intervals between successive maximal amplitude peaks within syllables (PPD) – is crucial in neighbour-stranger discrimination by males of the nocturnal and highly secretive bird species, the corncrake.
All signals are not equal: acoustic signalling of individuality, sex and breeding status in a cooperative breeder
Habitat explained microgeographic variation in Little Penguin agonistic calls
TLDR
Investigation of variation in male and female agonistic and advertising calls between 4 populations of Little Penguins in South Australia reveals significant variation in agonistic calls across the colonies, best explained by variation in microhabitat.

SEX DISCRIMINATION AND MATE RECOGNITION BY VOICE IN THE YELKOUAN SHEARWATER PUFFINUS YELKOUAN
TLDR
It is shown that birds discriminate the sex of the emitter, calling back almost exclusively to calls of birds of the same sex, suggesting that females are vocally more selective than males.
Song-based species discrimination and behaviour assessment by female blackbirds, Turdus merula
TLDR
Female blackbirds, unlike males, disregard both the upper limit of variation in the frequency level in the process of species discrimination, and the degree of modulation of the sound figures' amplitude functions, consistent with the 'song-degradation' hypothesis.
Character displacement from the receiver's perspective: species and mate recognition despite convergent signals in suboscine birds
TLDR
It is shown that male songs are stereotyped yet individually distinctive, and playback experiments demonstrate that females can discriminate not only between conspecific and heterospecific males, but between mates and strangers, suggesting that the evolutionary forces driving divergent character displacement in animal signals are weaker than is typically assumed.
Acoustic communication in the Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla: potential cues for sexual and individual signatures in long calls
TLDR
It is shown that calls in the Kittiwake are sexually dimorphic and that the dimorphism is mainly based on the value of the fundamental frequency, and that calls are individually distinct, individuality being due to a complex of temporal and frequency parameters located in different parts of the signal.
A dynamic trait affects continuous pair assessment in the blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii
TLDR
An experimental manipulation of the foot colour of males in courtship found that females paired to experimental males courted less and were less likely to copulate than females in the control group; thus the change in female behaviour can be attributed exclusively to foot colour manipulation.
Acoustic convergence and divergence in two sympatric burrowing nocturnal seabirds
TLDR
An evolutionary convergence in intra-sex communication process but a divergence in mate greeting strategy is observed in Yelkouan and Mediterranean Cory’s shearwaters.
Intra- and Intersexual Functions in the Call, of a Non-Passerine Bird
TLDR
The results showed that the same signal can be used in intra- and intersexual communication, depending on the status of the signaller (its sex) and of the recipient ( its sex and breeding status).
