DOI: 10.32800/abc.2021.44.0175
Abstract: Birds generate vocalisations (songs and calls) to communicate. Acoustic communication may be hindered by habitat features so birds can use several strategies to favour sound transmission. Sound transmission depends on the acoustic properties of their… read more here.
