Many animal species use social information - from conspecifics or other species - to inform their behavioral choices, for example where to look for food or build a nest. In a recent study, ...

Just how new species are established is still one of the most central questions in biology. Biologists now describe how they mapped the genomes of the European pied flycatcher and the collared ...

The two closely related bird species, the collared flycatcher and the pied flycatcher, can reproduce with each other, but the females are more strongly attracted to a male of their own species. This ...

Collared flycatchers are about 13cm long, thus smaller than sparrows. Their body is compact and merges into a thin, ranging tail. As in many other species, males’ plumage is more striking during ...

Much of what we know about vocal learning and memory in people comes from our studies of songbirds. Each songbird species sings a distinctive song that functions as an acoustic signal for identifying ...

Just how new species are established is still one of the most central questions in biology. In an article in the leading scientific journal Nature, researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden describe ...

In a new study, researchers at Uppsala University have found evidence of that climate change upends selection of face characteristics in the collared flycatcher. During the study the annual fitness ...

Global climate warming is considered a major threat to many living organisms but not all consequences of warming need to be harmful to species. A recent study from the University of Helsinki published ...
