Song types and their structural features are associated with specific contexts in the banded wren

Article Abstract:

The use of song types and their structural features in different social contexts in the banded wren, Thryothorus pleurostictus, a resident tropical songbird in which males possess about 20 distinctive song types varying in duration, bandwidth, note composition, and trill structure was studied. The findings observed that the song-type diversity and fraction of compound songs were higher, when the female was present.
