Maternal inbreeding reduces parental care in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2014.09.012 0003-3472/© 2014 The Authors. Published on behalf license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) Increased embryo mortality is the most commonly cited cause of reduced fitness in inbred organisms. Reduced embryo survival may be the result of reduced parental expenditure by inbred individuals and here we tested the hypothesis that inbreeding...
متن کاملInbreeding depression of sperm traits in the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata
Inbreeding depression, or the reduction in fitness due to mating between close relatives, is a key issue in biology today. Inbreeding negatively affects many fitness-related traits, including survival and reproductive success. Despite this, very few studies have quantified the effects of inbreeding on vertebrate gamete traits under controlled breeding conditions using a full-sib mating approach...
متن کاملGaze Strategy in the Free Flying Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
Fast moving animals depend on cues derived from the optic flow on their retina. Optic flow from translational locomotion includes information about the three-dimensional composition of the environment, while optic flow experienced during a rotational self motion does not. Thus, a saccadic gaze strategy that segregates rotations from translational movements during locomotion will facilitate extr...
متن کاملTimbre control in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) song syllables.
Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) song syllables often include harmonically related frequency components. These harmonics may be suppressed, and this differential emphasis varies between the syllables in a song and between individual birds' songs. These patterns of harmonic suppression are timbre. Individual syllables' patterns of harmonic suppression are constant with adult males' songs. Young...
متن کاملSyllable chunking in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) song.
We examined how 61 young zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) males copied song from 5 adult tutors. Zebra finch song consists of a string of 5-15 distinct syllables, and these syllables were copied as chunks, or strings of consecutive syllables (modal length = 3). The silent interval between 2 syllables was copied as part of the syllable after the silence. Copied chunks had boundaries that fell a...
