Sensitive Phase
What is the early time period during which stimuli can be imprinted on called?
100

What is a closed-ended learner?

Thank you for participating, here are some free points :)
What is being lucky?

Man-made noise
Examples include traffic, construction,etc.
What is anthropogenic noise and please give an example

This hormone is responsible for crystallizing a bird's song. A greater amount of this hormone can make a song crystallize earlier on.
What is testosterone?
200
This stage of filtering occurs at the Central Nervous System level
What is Stage 2 filtering?
200
Creating new neurons/connections after brain damage or amputation. Based on the idea that the brain is "plastic".
What is cortical remapping?
200
Which bird, in the presence of anthropogenic noise, created shorter songs with higher minimum frequencies? Plumbeous vireos or grey vireos?
What is Plumbeous vireos?

1) Female songbirds are more fertile at dawn?
2) Sound travels better?
3) Nothing else to do?
4) Honest advertising?
What is one plausible explanation given in class for why "dawn chorus" occurs?

When song is used to show claim over a certain part of land or a specific location, this is a type of ______ ________ behavior.
What is territorial defense?

Once started, these mechanisms with occur rapidly and repeatedly until another stimulus signals a "stop."
What is a Central Pattern Generator?
300
A parasitic organism that spends a portion of its life in another host organism and eventually kills/consumes its host. Eg: Ormia ochracea.
What is a parasitoid?
300
The characteristic of a brain or a song that makes is changeable later in life
What is plasticity?

Syrinx
What is the vocal organ responsible for producing song?

Birds that don't sing don't have this pathway.
What is the anterior forebrain pathway?
400
Collection of cell bodies of neurons
What is a ganglion?
400
Extremely sensitive specialized epidermal cells. Found on the appendages of star-nosed moles.
What are Eimer's organs?

Anxious behavior (such as elevating beaks and attempting to fly) exhibited by migratory birds such as white crown sparrows during their migratory phase.
What is migratory restlessness?
