1. Manure heaps attract farmland birds during winter

Author:
Martin Šálek; Michał Żmihorski
Source:
Bird study 2018 v.65 no.3 pp. 426-430
ISSN:
1944-6705
Subject:
Emberiza; Passer montanus; agricultural land; birds; granivores; winter
Abstract:
... Capsule: Abundance and species diversity of both common farmland birds and species of conservation concern were significantly higher at manure heaps compared to open farmland, especially for the Tree Sparrow Passer montanus and Yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella, two declining granivorous farmland birds. ...

2. Phylogeography of the House Bunting complex: discordance between species limits and genetic markers

Author:

Source:
Journal of ornithology 2018 v.159 no.1 pp. 47-61
ISSN:
2193-7192
Subject:
Emberiza; birds; climate change; genetic markers; introgression; mitochondrial DNA; paraphyly; phylogeography; vocalization; Chad; Sudan
Abstract:
... Emberiza striolata has traditionally been viewed as a single polytypic species, but recent taxonomic reviews of its morphology, vocalizations and genetic data have led to the recommendation that two species be recognized within this complex, the House Bunting Emberiza sahari in the west, and the Striolated Bunting Emberiza striolata (including the subspecies Emberiza striolata saturiator and Ember ...

3. Sing softly to evoke a response only from a recent intruder

Author:
Aleksandra Jakubowska; Tomasz S. Osiejuk
Source:
Behavioural processes 2018 v.157 pp. 244-249
ISSN:
0376-6357
Subject:
Emberiza; birds; females; males
Abstract:
... Low-amplitude soft songs have been described in many birds, but in most species, research has addressed only broadcast songs. Soft songs may have a similar or distinctive structure in comparison to broadcast songs produced in order to defend a territory and attract females. In some species, such soft songs were found to be produced in an aggressive context and were the best predictors of conflict ...

4. Song structure and variability in the Black-headed Bunting (Emberiza melanocephala)

Author:

Source:
Journal of ornithology 2018 v.159 no.2 pp. 389-400
ISSN:
2193-7192
Subject:
Emberiza; birds; learning; longevity; males; polygyny; sexual selection; vocalization
Abstract:
... Fighting and flirting are the main evolutionary forces behind the development of bird song and both contribute to different song characteristics. By comparison of vocalisations throughout bird taxa, we can help to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the song. In this study, we provide the first detailed analysis of song structure and song type variability in the Black-headed Bunting (Emberiza ...

Source:
Genes & genomics 2018 v.40 no.2 pp. 151-165
ISSN:

Subject:
Carduelis; Emberiza; Muscicapidae; Paridae; birds; genes; mitochondrial DNA; mitochondrial genome; monophyly; paraphyly; ribosomal RNA; transfer RNA
Abstract:
... Passeriformes is the largest group within aves and the phylogenetic relationships between Passeriformes have caused major disagreement in ornithology. Particularly, the phylogenetic relationships between muscicapoidea and sylvioidea are complex, and their taxonomic boundaries have not been clearly defined. Our aim was to study the status of two bird species: Tarsiger cyanurus and Phoenicurus auror ...
