DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoac008
Abstract: Conspecific animals in the wild use limited resources—such as food, nest site, and mating opportunities—very differently (Shuster and Wade 2003), which has been widely considered a consequence of phenotypic diversity (Shuster 2010). For instance, breeding… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.9363
Abstract: In birds the auditory system plays a key role in providing the sensory input used to discriminate between conspecific and heterospecific vocal signals. In those species that are known to learn their vocalizations, for example,… read more here.
