Females don’t always sing in response to male song, but when they do, they sing to males with higher pitched songs
Kirschel, Alexander N. G.; Zanti, Zacharo; Harlow, Zachary T.; Vallejo, Edgar E.; Cody, Martin L.; Taylor, Charles E. (2019)The long-held view that bird song is exclusively a male trait has been challenged recently by a number of studies and reviews highlighting the prevalence of female song. In spite of that, there remains a lack of knowledge ...

How grazing and other disturbance factors influence biodiversity in Cyprus, with a focus on breeding bird communities
Hellicar, M. A.; Kirschel, Alexander N. G. (2019)Grazing and browsing by sheep and goats has been an important anthropogenic influence on ecosystems in the Mediterranean region for centuries. This influence has changed significantly in recent decades, with a general shift ...

Range-wide spatial mapping reveals convergent character displacement of bird song
Kirschel, Alexander N. G.; Seddon, Nathalie; Tobias, Joseph A. (2019)A long-held view in evolutionary biology is that character displacement generates divergent phenotypes in closely related coexisting species to avoid the costs of hybridization or ecological competition, whereas an alternative ...

Rapid song divergence leads to discordance between genetic distance and phenotypic characters important in reproductive isolation
Nwankwo, Emmanuel C.; Pallari, Chryso Th.; Hadjioannou, Louis; Ioannou, Andreas; Mulwa, Ronald K.; Kirschel, Alexander N. G. (2018)The criteria for species delimitation in birds have long been debated, and several recent studies have proposed new methods for such delimitation. On one side, there is a large consensus of investigators who believe that ...
