Open AccessGuess who? Evaluating individual acoustic monitoring for males and females of the Tawny Pipit, a migratory passerine bird with a simple song
Individual acoustic monitoring (IAM), based on the analysis of vocal cues, is particularly suitable for the identification and tracking of birds with temporally stable song or call characteristics. Unlike mark...

Contrasting patterns of geographical song variation in two closely related passerine species with a simple song
Decades of research on geographic variation of birdsong have provided evidence that passerine vocalization often diverges among populations. We asked whether even songs so simple that they superficially resemb...

No evidence for a role of trills in male response to territorial intrusion in a complex singer, the Thrush Nightingale
Among the broad diversity of songbird vocalisations, song can serve a wide range of different functions depending on the species and context. In many species, aggressive motivation has often been linked with t...

Open AccessMultiple host switching events shape the evolution of symbiotic palaemonid shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda)
The majority of the almost 1,000 species of Palaemonidae, the most speciose family of caridean shrimp, largely live in symbioses with marine invertebrates of different phyla. These associations range from weak...
