Female song, female vocal tutoring of eggs, female vocal tutoring of fledglings, and how to survive parasites. The wonder of birds!

[University of Vienna STEM @stem_univie]

A new study by @BirdLabFlinders from @KLF_UniVienna (@univienna) finds that #nestling begging calls resemble maternal vocal signatures when mothers call slowly to embryos. Read the publication via @ASNAmNat here: ⤵

When will #fairywrens take risks to defend others under threat from a predator? Turns out their complex multilevel #sociality explains this. Read all about it in Current Biology: https://t.co/q454EvT412

Does personality measured in captivity predict a bird's predator response in the wild?

Congratulations to @bilby_jack on publishing his undergrad research project in @thePeerJ.

This is the first in a series of fairy-wren personality papers from our lab.

Pleased to announce Paper #2 in our series on fairy-wren personality, published in 'Animal Behaviour'.

Birds with extreme exploration phenotypes responded more aggressively to simulated territory intrusions. Group status & social context also important.

New paper this week: KLF researchers Sonia Kleindorfer (@birdlabflinders) and Petra Sumasgutner (@pesumas), with PhD student Lauren Common (@fliesthenest), publish their findings on causes of nest mortality in the critically endangered Medium Tree Finch.

Sharing not such good news: Medium Tree Finch being killed by introduced predators and parasites. But, we will keep monitoring after planned predator eradication in 2023. Hopefully good news thereafter!
