begin perceiving and producing song early in life, they provide a propitious model for …

Juvenile songbirds express species-specific song discrimination from an early age, which
focuses learning onto the songs of their parental species. However, it remains unknown …

Passeriformes, more commonly known as perching birds or passerines, are the most
species-rich group of birds. Totaling nearly 6500 species, approximately two out of every …

There is little biological data available for diving birds because many live in hard-to-study,
remote habitats. Only one species of diving bird, the black-footed penguin (Spheniscus …

Diving seabirds face a combination of sound exposure in marine and terrestrial
environments due to increasing human encroachment on coastal ecosystems. Yet the sound …

Our knowledge of the hearing abilities of frogs and toads is largely defined by work with a
few well-studied species. One way to further advance comparative work on anuran hearing …

As humans increasingly utilize sensitive coastal areas, diving seabirds like the marbled
murrelet Brachyramphus marmoratus face a unique combination of exposure to pervasive …

Despite increasing concern about the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine fauna,
relevant research is limited, particularly in those inaccessible species, such as the Little …

Hearing is a primary sensory modality for birds. For seabirds, auditory data is challenging to
obtain and hearing data are limited. Here, we present methods to measure seabird hearing …
