Male song stability shows cross‐year repeatability but does not affect reproductive success in a wild passerine bird

Abstract: Predictable behaviour (or ‘behavioural stability’) might be favoured in certain ecological contexts, for example when representing a quality signal. Costs associated with producing stable phenotypes imply selection should favour plasticity in stability when beneficial. Repeatable among‐individual differences in degree of stability are simultaneously expected if individuals differ in ability to pay these costs, or in how they resolve cost–benefit trade‐offs. Bird song represents a prime example, where stability… Show more

“…To date, all research on great tit song has relied on a visual classification of songs into population-level types (Baker et al, 1987; Falls et al, 1982; Fayet et al, 2014; Hutfluss et al, 2022; McGregor & Krebs, 1982a; McGregor & Krebs, 1982b; McGregor et al, 1981). This process is both inevitable and very subjective.…”

“…Links between vocal performance or diversity and reproductive success: Our data can be used to explore the relationships between vocal performance metrics, such as song complexity or vocal diversity, and individual breeding success on a dataset that is much larger than what is typical in the field (Hutfluss et al 2022;Beecher et al 2020;Crates et al 2021;Hiebert et al 1989;McGregor et al 1981).…”
