Two Novel Vocalizations Are Used by Veeries (Catharus fuscescens) during Agonistic Interactions

Avian vocalizations are common examples of the complex signals used by animals to negotiate during agonistic interactions. In this study, we used two playback experiments to identify agonistic signals in a songbird species with several acoustically complex songs and calls, the veery. In the first ex...
