Male great tits eavesdrop on simulated male-to-male vocal interactions.
Animal communication generally occurs in the environment of a network of several potential signallers and receivers. Within a network environment, it is possible to gain relative information about conspecifics by eavesdropping on signalling interactions. We presented male great tits with the opportunity to gain such information by simulating singing interactions using two loudspeakers. Interact...
متن کاملMale great tits assort by personality during the breeding season
Animal personalities can influence social interactions among individuals, and thus have major implications for population processes and structure. Few studies have investigated the significance of the social context of animal personalities, and such research has largely focused on the social organization of nonterritorial populations. Here we address the question of whether exploratory behaviou...
متن کاملMale chimpanzee vocal interactions and social bonds
Vocal interactions, such as call exchanges or choruses, are common behaviours in animals and their function has been often linked to social bonding. In this study, I examined the relationship between two types of vocal behaviour common in chimpanzees, pant hoot chorusing and food calling, and social bonds between males. The results of this study, which was conducted on the Kanyawara community o...
متن کاملDelayed-matching-to-sample by marsh tits and great tits.
The ability of two species of tits to remember the location and/or features of an object was tested in a delayed-matching-to-sample procedure. Three values of retention interval between presentation of the sample stimulus and the choice--30 sec, 5 min, and 15 min--were used. Both species performed at above-chance level at all retention intervals, and there was no significant decline in accuracy...
متن کاملJuvenile sparrows preferentially eavesdrop on adult song interactions.
Recent research has demonstrated that bird song learning is influenced by social factors, but so far has been unable to isolate the particular social variables central to the learning process. Here we test the hypothesis that eavesdropping on singing interactions of adults is a key social event in song learning by birds. In a field experiment, we compared the response of juvenile male song spar...
