Many animals produce coordinated signals, but few are more striking than the elaborate male–female vocal duets produced by some tropical songbirds. Yet, little is known about the factors driving the extreme levels of vocal coordination between mate

Pairs of duetting birds can sing coordinated duets with such precision that they are often mistaken for a single individual, yet little is known about how this impressive temporal synchronization is achieved. We experimentally examined duet coordinat

Vocal duetting occurs in diverse animal groups. Members of a mated pair may duet to communicate with each other or with other individuals. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the function of duets, and studies often provide support for the

Young male zebra finches exposed to a series of adult males during their sensitive phase for song learning tended to learn from several of them, in contrast to those exposed to two or more tutors simultaneously. There is a tendency to learn more from

The traditionally-defined wren genus Thryothorus is notable for its diversity of singing styles with some species producing highly coordinated duets or choruses in various formats while, at the other extreme, songs are performed almost exclusively by

Joint territory defence, mate guarding and pair bond formation are the three principal hypotheses put forward to explain the occurrence of duet singing in birds and primates. We tested predictions from all three hypotheses in a subspecies of the plai

In the tropics female birds sing much more frequently than in the temperate north, and sometimes even join their mates to form duets. Why might this be? We discuss how this phenomenon may relate to differences in life history that have been proposed

We studied the duet of the Caribbean-slope subspecies of the Plain Wren (Thryothorus modestus zeledoni) in Costa Rica. It is one of the most complex duets to have been described. The duet proper consists of rapid, highly coordinated alternation of

We tested sexually mature zebra finches to see whether social learning influenced their feeding preferences, in particular whether they followed the preference of a male or a female demonstrator, of a red-ringed or a green-ringed male, and of a famil

Young male zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, reared by their mothers alone showed no preference between males with red and with light-green colour rings in their choice of song tutor. Behavioural observations showed that the tutee associated more w
