Insularization effects on bird acoustic signals
For his master's project in Ecology, Thiago Bicudo analyzed the effect of lanscape changes on the scructural and temporal parameters of the vocalization of two suboscine birds that are common in primary forests, Lipaugus vociferans and Tyranneutes virescens. The former species is one of the trademark voices in Amazonian rainforests. The study has been recently published in Behavioral Ecology.
