Bird song comparison using deep learning trained from avian perceptual judgments

The paper develops a deep learning method trained on avian perceptual judgments to compare bird song similarity, outperforming existing software and closely matching avian assessments.

Concurrent invasions by European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) suggest selection on shared genomic regions even after genetic bottlenecks

The paper compares whole-genome sequences of European Starlings from native and introduced populations to show that post-bottleneck expansion supports local adaptation through selection on shared genomic regions.

The variability of song variability in wild and domesticated zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata

This study examines song variability in zebra finches, finding that domesticated populations show higher song diversity than wild-derived ones, suggesting a genetic basis for this trait.
