Darwin posited that innate and learned signals could be evolutionarily related. A new paper in
@natecoevo.nature.com
, co-authored by Alfredo Attisano, Roman Gula & Jörn Theuerkauf of
@mizpas.bsky.social
, demonstrates that a learned brood parasite vocalisation induces an innate response in the host.
loading . . .
Learned use of an innate sound-meaning association in birds - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Over 20 species of geographically and phylogenetically diverse bird species produce convergent whining vocalizations towards their respective brood parasites. Model presentation and playback experiments across multiple continents suggest that these learned calls provoke an innate response even among allopatric species.

Happy to share my recently published paper! In male aquatic warblers (Acrocephalus paludicola) males that more frequently sang aggressive songs used to deter other males had more nestlings and were more likely to contract avian malaria, and males with more diverse song were in better condition.

Agonistic song rate positively correlates with male breeding success and avian malaria infection in Acrocephalus paludicola (Aquatic Warbler), a promiscuous songbird with female-only parental care
ABSTRACT. The link between male song and reproductive success has been explored at length in socially monogamous birds, but results were inconsistent and u
