Vocal constraints on song amplitude in star finches Bathilda ruficauda by Hana Goto, Masayo Soma, Ayumi Mizuno, Henrik Brumm

“…This suggests that the frequency-amplitude correlation is a more general phenomenon in bird vocalisations, independent of the overall source amplitude of a species. While the evolution of birdsong is often viewed as constrained by neural costs and body size, or selective pressures from predators and social aggression, our results emphasise the importance of understanding phonetic features as well. …”
