Zebra finch song and distance call amplitude measurements: A transmission experiment and observational transects in the natural environment

Birdsong is typically seen as a long-range signal functioning in mate attraction and territory defense. Among birds, the zebra finch is the prime model organism in bioacoustics, yet almost exclusively studied in the lab. In the wild, however, zebra finch song differs strikingly from songbirds commonly studied in the wild as zebra finch males sing most after mating and in the absence of territoriality. Using data from the wild, we here provide an ecological context for a wealth of laboratory studies. By integrating calibrated sound recordings, sound transmission experiments and social ecology of zebra finches in the wild with insights from hearing physiology we show that wild zebra finch song is a very short-range signal with an audible range of about nine meters and that even the louder distance calls do not carry much farther (up to about fourteen meters). These integrated findings provide an ecological context for the interpretation of laboratory studies of this species and indicate that the vocal communication distance of the main laboratory species for avian acoustics contrasts strikingly with songbirds that use their song as a long-range advertisement signal.

Farm and regional levels' database used to test the effectiveness of slope and distance from buildings in approximating the pastoral site-use intensity of alpine pastures

The excel file contains the two databases used in the paper “Slope and distance from buildings are easy-to-retrieve proxies for estimating livestock site-use intensity in alpine summer pastures” to test the effectiveness of slope and distance from buildings in approximating the pastoral site-use intensity of alpine pastures. The database in the ‘farm level’ sheet has been used to assess if slope and distance from buildings were good predictors of site-use intensity at farm level, i.e. the number of GPS locations counted within sample units was modelled as a function of the two proxies. Moreover, this database has been used to evaluate if the expected transition of Vegetation Ecological Groups (VEGs) from the shrub-encroached to the nitrophilous ones corresponded to a real site-use intensity gradient as represented by the stocking rates measured through GPS locations, i.e. by modelling the total number of GPS locations within sample units in function VEGs. The database in the ‘Regional level’ sheet has been used to evaluate if the five VEGs were effectively discriminated by distance from buildings and slope. Two models were performed by specifying either slope and distance from buildings as response variables and VEG as fixed factor.
