“…Territorial males of at least 12 songbird species have been found to respond more strongly to local song than to non-local song (summarized in Becker 1982;Nelson 1998;Catchpole & Slater 2008), although some of the original studies suffer from pseudoreplication (Kroodsma 1989). In other species, investigators have failed to find discrimination between local and non-local songs (Lemon & Harris 1974;Nelson 1998), and in yet others, results have been mixed (Kroodsma et al 1984;Balaban 1988;Podos 2007Podos , 2010Colbeck et al 2010). Why the extent of discrimination among regional song variants differs among species is an open question.…”

Non‐Salient Geographic Variation in Birdsong in a Species That Learns by Improvisation

Geographic variation in birdsong and differential responses of territorial males to local and non‐local song variants have been documented in a number of songbird species in which males learn their songs through imitation. Here, we investigated geographic song variation and responses to local and non‐local song in the grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), a species in which males develop song by improvisation rather than imitation, as a first step toward understanding how the extent and salience of geographic song variation is related to the mode of song development. To describe the geographic variation in song, we compared songs from populations in eastern Maryland and central Ohio, USA, using multiple acoustic analysis techniques. We then conducted a playback experiment in Maryland using local and non‐local (Ohio) songs to test how territorial males responded to this geographic variation. We found acoustic differences between songs from the two sites. However, males responded similarly to playback of these songs, suggesting that this geographic variation is not behaviorally salient in a territorial context. Together with previous studies, our results suggest that across species, geographic song variation and the extent to which this variation functions in communication may be correlated with the accuracy with which song models are imitated during song development.

“…Although a voluminous literature exists describing the acoustic parameters on which species song recognition is based (Becker, 1982), less is known about the acoustic features underlying discrimination of within-species song variation (Brooks & Falls, 1975; Falls, 1982; King & West, 1983). It is clear from several studies that birds discriminate entire songs that typify different individuals or different geographic locales (e.g., Baker, Tomback, Thompson, Theimer, & Bradley, 1984; Becker, 1977; Harris & Lemon, 1972; 1976; Kroodsma, 1976; Kroodsma, Meservey, Whitlock, & VanderHaegen, 1984; Searcy, McArthur, Peters, & Marler, 1981). Recent playback experiments and developmental studies have circumstantially implicated syllable structure as a strong determinant of conspecific song recognition by song sparrows.…”

Song syllable discrimination by song sparrows (Melospiza melodia).

A habituation test paradigm was used to examine the responses of free-living territorial adult male song sparrows (Melospiza melodia) to a range of synthetic songs. The three-phrased test songs differed from one another in having either conspecific or heterospecific (swamp sparrow, M. georgiana) syllables, or silence, in the second phrase. Subjects were exposed to repeated presentations of one song type until their approach distance to a loudspeaker increased. In one experiment, birds were habituated with a song consisting of three phrases of song sparrow syllables and then tested for generalization to either novel song sparrow syllables in the second phrase, swamp sparrow syllables, or silence. Birds discriminated between song sparrow syllables on two response measures, and between song sparrow and swamp sparrow syllables on one measure. In a second experiment, after habituation to a song with swamp sparrow syllables in the second phrase, birds did not generalize to novel song sparrow syllables, but they did generalize to novel swamp sparrow syllables. Thus song sparrows make finer distinctions among conspecific syllable variants than with alien syllables. The results further suggest that subtle species-specific differences in note structure within syllables are discriminated by song sparrows and potentially provide an adequate basis for individual recognition by song.
