Biochemical integration of blood redox state in captive zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata).
Integration is a property of biological systems that refers to the extent to which their components are correlated through functional, structural, developmental or evolutionary interdependency. This study examined patterns of functional integration among different molecular components of the blood redox system (both plasma and red blood cells) in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). Our results...
متن کاملReproductive impairment in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata).
The effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as compounds that may disrupt endocrine activity and, consequently, alter reproductive performance were investigated in altricial zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). The breeding performance and breeding cycle of zebra finches differed significantly between nonexposed birds and those experimentally pulse-exposed to Aroclor 1248, a PCB compound (4...
متن کاملNeural correlates of nesting behavior in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
Nest building in birds involves a behavioral sequence (nest material collection and deposition in the nest) that offers a unique model for addressing how the brain sequences motor actions. In this study, we identified brain regions involved in nesting behavior in male and female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). We used Fos immunohistochemistry to quantify production of the immediate early g...
متن کاملFood preference and copying behaviour in zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata.
As a social species zebra finches might be expected to copy the food choices of more experienced conspecifics. This prediction has been tested previously by presenting observers with two demonstrator birds that differ in some way (e.g., sex, familiarity), each feeding on a different colour food source. However, if the observer subsequently exhibits a preference, it is unclear whether it has cop...
متن کاملTemporal integration in zebra finches (Poephila guttata).
Three zebra finches were trained with operant techniques to respond to pure tones. Absolute thresholds were obtained for nine durations of a 3-kHz tone and five durations of a 1-kHz tone. The temporal integration functions were described using the negative exponential function proposed by Plomp and Bouman [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 31, 749-758 (1959)]. The time constants obtained for zebra finches ar...
