Research on avian bioacoustics in the Neotropics has surged over last several decades due to increased interest large diversity of vocal behaviors and vocalization broader accessibility recording equipment software. Here, we present a synthesis current past knowledge Neotropical bird bioacoustics. This is result symposium "Bioacoustics Neotropics", organized for XI Ornithological Congress San Jose, Costa Rica, July 2019. We covered what consider main topics that have been studied this region...
Abstract Animals use acoustic signals to defend resources against rivals and attract breeding partners. As with many biological traits, may reflect ancestry; closely related species often produce more similar than do distantly species. Whether this similarity in is biologically relevant animals poorly understood. We conducted a playback experiment measure the physical vocal responses of male songbirds songs both conspecific allopatric‐congeneric that varied their genetic similarity. Our...
Abstract Background Among urban stimuli, anthropogenic noise has been identified to be one of the behavioral drivers species that rely on acoustic signals for communication. Studies have shown both species-specific and assemblage responses noise, ranging from modulation their frequencies spatiotemporal adjustments declines in richness. In this study, we assessed citywide relationship between two variables (noise levels recorded during bird surveys daily average levels) vegetation cover with...
Animal communication has long been thought to be subject pressures and constraints associated with social relationships. However, our understanding of how the nature quality relationships relates use evolution is limited by a lack directly comparable methods across multiple levels analysis. Here, we analysed observational data from 111 wild groups belonging 26 non-human primate species, test vocal dominance style (the strictness which hierarchy enforced, ranging ‘despotic’ ‘tolerant’). At...
Phenotypic traits are important for assessing differences between populations, especially in groups with poorly resolved taxonomy. One such group, the House Wren complex, presents extensive taxonomic controversy and is thought to comprise many independent evolutionary units. Although songs morphological features of Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) show variation, populations have not been quantified. We assessed variation acoustic morphometric within this complex compared patterns currently...
Abstract Background Cities differ from non-urban environments by the intensity, scale, and extent of anthropogenic pressures, which can drive occurrence, physiology, behavior organisms thriving in these settings. Traits as green cover often predict occurrence patterns bird species urban areas. Yet, noise artificial light at night (ALAN) could also limit presence disrupt birds. However, there is still a dearth knowledge about influence urbanization through pollution on nocturnal ecology. In...
Speciation may be influenced by geographic variation in animal signals, particularly when those signals are important reproductive decisions. Here, we describe patterns of the song rufous‐naped wrens C ampylorhynchus rufinucha . This species complex is a morphologically variable taxon confined to tropical dry forest areas from Mexico northwestern Costa Rica. Morphological and genetic analyses suggest that there at least three partially isolated groups within complex, including...
Abstract Interspecific territoriality is frequently reported between closely related species; however, few studies have demonstrated interspecific distantly species living in sympatry. We conducted playback experiments to investigate territorial behaviour male and female White‐bellied Wrens ( Uropsila leucogastra ) response simulated conspecific heterospecific intruders during the breeding non‐breeding seasons. explored whether songs of Happy Wren Pheugopedius felix ), a ecological...
Abstract Acoustic signals used in animal communication play a key role mate attraction, species recognition, and territory defense. Variation acoustic may reflect population structure, lack of gene flow, phylogenetic relationships. In birds, the study geographic variation has been useful for elucidating potential factors involved phenotypic divergence establishing limits. However, most studies on have focused calls solo songs, with few focusing complex behaviors such as duets. this study, we...
The 'social complexity hypothesis' posits that complex social systems (which entail high uncertainty) require communicative (with vocal flexibility). In species with fission-fusion dynamics, where the fluid composition of temporary subgroups increases uncertainty which group members must manage their relationships, communication be particularly flexible. This study assessed whether contact call rates vary caller and audience characteristics in free-living spider monkeys, as well fission...
We explored the relationship between haemosporidian infection (infected vs. uninfected), parasite load, heterophil:lymphocyte ratio, body condition and vocal behaviour of Rufous‐naped Wren Campylorhynchus rufinucha . Our results, albeit based on a small sample size, showed no evidence an association status, ratio or condition. Infections did not vary localities. results showed, however, that status was associated with higher song rate, in males females belonging to same reproductive pair...
Abstract The biodiversity of the Neotropics is considerable, but it likely underestimated owing to gaps in sampling effort and a focus on using morphological features animals determine species differences rather than divergence their mating signals behavior. Recent multi-trait analyses incorporating morphological, plumage, vocal data have allowed for more accurate quantification tropical biodiversity. We present comprehensive study features, vocalizations Neotropical resident Rufous-capped...
We studied patterns of geographic variation in the fine structural characteristics songs five recognized subspecies Common Bush Tanagers (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus) Mesoamerica to examine whether vary with geography. Multivariate analyses (PCA and DFA), based on 11 provided similar results indicating that both albifrons regionalis had unique significantly different from rest subspecies. Conversely, ophthalmicus, dwighti, postocularis song characteristics, regardless restricted gene flow...
The Horned Guan (Oreophasis derbianus) is a cracid restricted to cloud forests in the Sierra Madre of Chiapas Mexico and western-central Mountains Guatemala. It an endangered species urgent conservation measures are required, such as non-invasive monitoring techniques. Here, we study individual features boom calls Guans. Boom acoustic signals used by males during courtship territorial displays. This call made seven notes, divided into two parts: introductory section characterized...
