Song type matching, song type switching and eavesdropping in male great tits

Article Abstract:

The phenomenon of the song type matching by presenting male great tits, Parus major, with simulated interactions in which one interactant switched song type such that it matched that sung by the opponent is examined. The results reveals that male great tits are capable of extracting different kinds of information by eavesdropping on interactions between others and using that information when deciding how to respond to subsequent intrusion.

Personalities in great tits, Parus major: Stability and consistency

Article Abstract:

Two lines bidirectionally selected for fast or slow exploratory performance on great tits was studied during the juvenile phase, a trait thought to reflect different personalities. Results described fast explorers as proactive and slow explorers as reactive copers, showing a relatively high degree of behavioral plasticity.
