Parasite diversity, patterns of MHC II variation and olfactory based mate choice in diverging three-spined stickleback ecotypes (2011, background): “However, identification of such a ‘‘magic trait’’ (Gavrilets 2004) involved in both assortative mating and adaptation have rarely been reported (e.g., Jiggins et al. 2001; Podos 2001) and, except in cichlids with their polymorphic long wavelengthsensitve opsin gene (Seehausen et al.”
A reprint from American Scientist (2007, neutral): “Yawning is a reminder that ancient and unconscious behavior lurks beneath the veneer of culture, rationality and language, continuing to influence our lives.”
Beak morphology and song features covary in a population of Darwin’s finches (Geospiza fortis) (2006, methodology): “The expectation of a functional relationship between beak morphology and trill features was tested by Podos (2001) for Darwin’s finches of the Galápagos Islands.”
Vocal performance influences female response to male bird song: an experimental test (2004, methodology): “…Ecology vol. 15 no. 1 International Society for Behavioral Ecology 2004; all rights reserved. diagonal representing an estimate of the performance limit for trill production and the orthogonal deviation from this line being a measure of vocal performance (Podos, 2001).”
SONG AND MATE CHOICE IN BIRDS: HOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEHAVIOR HELPS US UNDERSTAND FUNCTION (2005, background): “The upper limit of bandwidth and rate defi nes a performance limit; males producing songs close to the limit may be said to have high vocal performance, and those producing songs far from the limit have low vocal performance (Podos 2001).”
Inaugural Article: The secondary contact phase of allopatric speciation in Darwin's finches (2009, positive): “Song characteristics can be affected by beak morphology for biomechanical reasons; the larger the beak the slower the production of repeated notes and the smaller the range of their frequencies (39).”
Sounds of male Lake Victoria cichlids vary within and between species and affect female mate preferences (2010, background): “Species differences in sound production could be correlated with trophic specializations and may result in a linkage of ecological specialization and mate choice (as suggested for birds: Slabbekoorn and Smith 2000; Podos 2001).”
It is all in the head : morphological basis for differences in bite force among colour morphs of the Dalmatian wall lizard (2008, background): “Bigger, more robust beaks are limited in opening and closing rates, they are slower, and, consequently, produce songs with lower trill rates and narrower frequency band widths than birds with smaller, more gracile beaks (Podos, 2001).”
Body mass and habitat correlates of song structure in a primitive group of birds (2002, background): “…finches, birds with large beaks and body sizes produce songs with comparatively low rates of syllable repetition and narrow frequency bandwidth (Podos, 2001), and there is evidence that both beak morphology and body size are under strong selective pressure related to diet (Gibbs & Grant,…”
Force–velocity trade‐off in Darwin's finch jaw function: a biomechanical basis for ecological speciation? (2009, methodology): “We have shown previously that song parameters associated with vocal performance in Darwin’s finches covary negatively with overall beak size (Podos 2001; Huber & Podos 2006).”
The ability to perform physically challenging songs predicts age and size in male swamp sparrows, Melospiza georgiana (2009, methodology): “The method for quantifying vocal performance is described in detail elsewhere (Podos 2001; Ballentine et al. 2004; Ballentine 2006a).”
AVIAN COMMUNICATION IN URBAN NOISE: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF VOCAL ADJUSTMENT (2006, background): “This adjustment may reduce the a ractiveness of the male song in species in which females assess frequency bandwidth as an aspect of vocal performance (Podos 2001, Ballentine et al. 2004).”
Response to conspecific and heterospecific alarm calls in mixed-species bird flocks of a Sri Lankan rainforest (2008, methodology): “We measured the peak frequency (frequency of the highest amplitude) and the low and high frequencies (frequencies at which the amplitude is within 15 dB relative to the peak frequency, following an approach similar to Podos 2001 ) for the first and last 0.025 s of each note (a duration that represe”
Vocal mimicry in songbirds (2008, positive): “Bill and vocal tract morphology are likely to limit the rate of syllable repetition and hence the type of models that a species is able to mimic (Podos 2001).”
