Article
Kristal N. Kostoglou, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurEmbryonic vocalizations in birds may enable communication between embryos and incubating parents but responses of parents to embryonic vocalizations have not been measured experimentally. In two ground-nesting shorebirds, we compare parental car[...]

Kristal N. Kostoglou, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Steven J. Bowe, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurGround-nesting shorebirds rely on egg crypsis as one of their main anti-predator defence strategies. Avian embryos vocalize late in incubation and communicate with parents through the eggshell but calls may compromise crypsis. Conceivably, embry[...]

Patrick-Jean Guay, Auteur ; Lucinda Monie, Auteur ; Randall W. Robinson, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, AuteurInterspecific hybridisation is common amongst birds and is associated with diverse costs and benefits. Several mechanisms are thought to promote hybridisation, including heterospecific mate choice, species recognition errors and interspecific fo[...]

Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Emily M. McLeod, Auteur ; Raoul A. Mulder, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Patrick-Jean Guay, AuteurCapsule Responses of animals to anthropogenic disturbances are often quantified using flight-initiation distance, the distance at which an animal flees a stimulus such as a person. We showed that the height of

Patrick-Jean Guay, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Randall W. Robinson, Auteur ; Daniel T. Blumstein, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurThe characterisation and management of deleterious processes affecting wildlife are ideally based on sound scientific information. However, relevant information is often absent, or difficult to access or contextualise for specific management pur[...]
Article
Silvina Ippi, Auteur ; Rodrigo A. Vásquez, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Ilenia Lazzoni, AuteurStructural variation in acoustic signals may be related either to the factors affecting sound production such as bird morphology, or to vocal adaptations to improve sound transmission in different environments. Thus, variation in acoustic signal[...]
Article
Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Raoul A. Mulder, AuteurBird song is an important signal for long-distance intraspecific communication. Thus, song characteristics are expected to have undergone adaptive modification to maximise propagation through the environment. Acoustic properties of song should b[...]
Article
Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Gopi K. Munimanda, Auteur ; Jakob Augustin, Auteur ; Donald Blomqvist, Auteur ; Tibor Szép, Auteur ; Richard H. Wagner, AuteurWe isolated and characterised six novel microsatellite loci for paternity analysis in the sand martin Riparia riparia, by screening an enriched genomic library. In addition, we tested 16 already published microsatellite markers, five of which we[...]
Article
Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Raoul A. Mulder, AuteurConsiderable variation exists in rates of extra-pair paternity between species, and across and within populations of the same species. Explanations for this variation include ecological (e.g. breeding synchrony), morphological (e.g. ornamentatio[...]
Article
Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Rodrigo A. Vásquez, Auteur ; Hans Winkler, AuteurInterspecies hybridisation frequently occurs when the distributional ranges of two closely-related species overlap after a period of geographic isolation. From a conservation perspective, such hybridisation events can incur detrimental effects o[...]
