The Songs and Singing Behavior of the Red-Eyed Vireo
@article{Borror1981TheSA, title={The Songs and Singing Behavior of the Red-Eyed Vireo}, author={Donald Joyce Borror}, journal={The Condor}, year={1981}, volume={83}, pages={217} }
-An audiospectrographic study of some 12,500 songs of Redeyed Vireos (Vireo olivaceus), from over 46 birds from nine states, provided data on song structure, vocal repertoires, and the birds' use of their repertoires. These songs have one or more syllables, each syllable consisting of one or more abrupt musical slurs. Each bird has a sizeable repertoire of syllable types, each of which may be used alone and/or with one or more other syllables to produce a number of different song types. The…

Song in the white-eyed vireo
- Biology
- 1987
Examining variations in songs of birds from different parts of the United States finds that in most birds represented by a sizeable number of songs, a few of the individual’s song types were unique (found in no other bird studied), and the rest were shared by other birds.
Multiple sub-repertoires and singing patterns of Red-eyed Vireos (Vireo olivaceus)
- BiologyThe Wilson Journal of Ornithology
- 2021
This study shows that Red-eyed Vireo repertoires are significantly larger than previously estimated, that singing patterns vary widely among individual birds, and that many birds group phrase types into multiple sub-repertoires, sung at different times.
Physical characteristics, categories and functions of song in the Indian Robin Saxicoloides fulicata (Aves: Muscicapidae)
- Biology
- 2011
The physical characteristics and biological significance of song in the endemic Indian Robin Saxicoloides fulicata are described, and it seems that type-A songs are driven by male-male competition for territory and mates.
Song syntax and singing behavior of Cassin's Vireo (Vireo cassinii)
- Biology
- 2016
The nature of song complexity in Cassin’s Vireo and its role in communication is elucidated, and methodological and theoretical advances that may be applicable to other species and the study of animal communication more generally are provided.
YEARLY AND SITUATIONAL CHANGES IN THE ESTIMATE OF REPERTOIRE SIZE IN NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRDS MIMUS-POLYGLOTTOS
- Biology
- 1987
The singing behavior of 4 male Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) was studied during 1980 and 1981 and results are consistent with the impression that repertoire size increases with age.
RED-EYED VIREOS HAVE DIFFICULTY RECOGNIZING INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORS' SONGS
- Medicine
- 1993
It is concluded that Red-eyed Vireo have difficulty recognizing their neighbors by song, and if recognition of neighbors serves to reduce energy expended in territorial defense during the breeding season, a large repertoire could be costly to male Red- eyed Vireos.

Complexity, Predictability and Time Homogeneity of Syntax in the Songs of Cassin’s Vireo (Vireo cassinii)
- BiologyPloS one
- 2016
An investigation into the song syntax of fourteen male Cassin’s Vireos (Vireo cassinii), a species whose song sequences are highly temporally structured, shows that the songs of this species are too complex to be described by a zero-order or first-order Markov model.
Ambient noise decreases detectability of songbird vocalizations in passive acoustic recordings in a consistent pattern across species, frequency, and analysis method
- PhysicsBioacoustics
- 2019
ABSTRACT The presence of ambient noise is a potential constraint that can impact studies that rely on passive acoustic recording units to compare biotic signals across a range of ambient noise…
Anthropogenic noise decreases urban songbird diversity and may contribute to homogenization
- Environmental ScienceGlobal change biology
- 2013
It is hypothesized that anthropogenic noise is contributing to declines in urban diversity by reducing the abundance of select species in noisy areas, and that species with low-frequency songs are those most likely to be affected.

Songs of the Thrushes (Turdidae), Wrens (Troglodytidae), and Mockingbirds (Mimidae) of Eastern North America

The purpose of this paper is to present brief accounts of the songs of these birds, based primarily on a study of recordings, and to describe what is usually described as the advertising or territorial song, which is usually uttered only by the male.
Song Patterning in the Rock Wren
- Biology
- 1975
Nearly all bird species, and especially those living in a particular geographical region, can be identified by their vocalizations; singing behaviors are extremely varied, and temporal and sequential aspects of theme delivery may aid in specific recognition.
Markovian Versus Rhomboidal Patterning in the Song of Swainson's Thrush

1. This paper examines a claim of NELSON (1973) of rhomboidal patterning in the songs of Swainson's Thrushes reflecting supposed holistic control of the sequences. 2. The subjects were six Swainson's…
Analysis of song of red-eyed vireos

Recordings of songs made from red-eyed vireos in Quebec reveal that the songs consist of short warbles lasting about 0.35 s. These warbles are composed from a repertoire of elements numbering 41 and…
The Temporal Pattern of Behaviour in Isolated Male Zebra Finches : Transition Analysis
- Biology
- 1972
A transition analysis has been carried out on the behaviour of single male zebra finches, isolated as far as possible from all varying environmental stimuli, and it is suggested that factor analysis is not a very useful method for dealing with transition data.

VISUALIZING INTERACTION AND SEQUENTIAL DATA IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR: THEORY AND APPLICATION OF CLUSTER-ANALYSIS METHODS

This paper is concerned with data occurring in two-way tables which summarise, for example, the time each individual in a social group spends with every other individual, or the frequency with which every phrase in a bird's song follows every other one.
