Female Passerine Singing Behavior from Odom et al. 2013: Odom et al, 2014

This data set is derived from: Odom, K. J., Hall, M. L., Riebel, K., Omland, K. E. and Langmore, N. E. 2014. Female song is widespread and ancestral in songbirds. Nature Communications Article# 4379 doi:10.1038/ncomms 4501 Odom et al. scored passerine species with respect to whether (a) females sing, (b) females do not sing, or (c) neither males nor females have a true song. Using ancestral trait reconstruction, the authors concluded that having both males and females sing is likely the ancestral condition.
