Potvin et al. (2018) Birds learn socially to recognize heterospecific alarm calls by acoustic association

Data are the outcome of an experiment on wild superb fairy-wrens resident in the Australian National Botanic Gardens. The experiment was designed to see if birds could learn socially to recognise unfamiliar sounds as alarm calls, and specifically by associating known alarm calls with unfamiliar ones, without also having to see a predator.

本数据集的数据源自一项针对栖息于澳大利亚国家植物园（Australian National Botanic Gardens）的野生华丽细尾鹩莺（Superb Fairy-wren）的野外实验。该实验旨在探究鸟类能否通过社会学习将陌生声响识别为报警鸣叫（alarm calls），具体实现路径为：让鸟类在无需目睹捕食者的前提下，将已知的报警鸣叫与陌生声响建立关联。
