Female birds sing much more
often than previously thought In
71% of all songbird species with available data, the female
sings too. This is remarkable because in the wake of Darwin’s
theory of evolution, birdsong has generally been seen as a
characteristic of male birds, allowing them to compete with
other males and attract females. Leiden biologist Katharina
Riebel published this finding on 4 March in Nature
Communications, together with an international
team.
