Animal Behavior: Song Learning out of the Box

Curr Biol. 2018 Oct 22;28(20):R1195-R1197. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.08.054.

Abstract

Our understanding of songbird song learning is derived mainly from two approaches: observations in the field and experiments in the laboratory. A clever new study combines elements of both and highlights how exposure to song can catalyze imitative learning.
