Low plasticity in digestive physiology constrains feeding ecology in diet specialist, Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
(Company of Biologists, 2009-12)
It can be hypothesized that species with a wide or variable food niche are able to adjust their digestive physiology to current food type. In diet specialists, however, the capacity for such presumably costly plasticity ...
Molecular cloning and characterization of the germline-restricted chromosome sequence in the zebra finch
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2009-05)
The zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is the largest chromosome and has a unique system of transmission in germ cells. In the male, the GRC exists as a single heterochromatic chromosome ...
Increased bursting glutamatergic neurotransmission in an auditory forebrain area of the zebra finch (Taenopygia guttata) induced by auditory stimulation
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
The caudomedial nidopallium (NCM) is a telencephalic area involved in auditory processing and memorization in songbirds, but the synaptic mechanisms associated with auditory processing in NCM are largely unknown. To identify ...
Elemental gesture dynamics are encoded by song premotor cortical neurons
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-02-27)
Quantitative biomechanical models can identify control parameters that are used during movements, and movement parameters that are encoded by premotor neurons. We fit a mathematical dynamical systems model including ...
Neural coding of sound envelope structure in songbirds
(Springer, 2017-12-12)
Songbirds are a well-established animal model to study the neural basis of learning, perception and production of complex vocalizations. In this system, telencephalic neurons in HVC present a state-dependent, highly selective ...
Undirected singing rate as a non-invasive tool for welfare monitoring in isolated male zebra finches
(Public Library of Science, 2020-08)
Research on the songbird zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) has advanced our behavioral, hormonal, neuronal, and genetic understanding of vocal learning. However, little is known about the impact of typical experimental ...
Heterologous synapsis and crossover suppression in heterozygotes for a pericentric inversion in the zebra finch
(Karger, 2015-12)
In the zebra finch, 2 alternative morphs regarding centromere position were described for chromosome 6. This polymorphism was interpreted to be the result of a pericentric inversion, but other causes of the centromere ...
Relationship between physical and genetic distances along the zebra finch Z chromosome
(Springer, 2008-12)
Nine bacterial artificial chromosomes containing genes linked to the Z chromosome of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) were localized using FISH on synaptonemal complex spreads. Their positions were correlated with ...
