Individual recognition, localisation, territoriality and inter-sexual interactions in antthrushes
Formicarius antthrushes are ground-dwelling birds found in Neotropical rainforests. Hidden in the undergrowth, as they forage in the leaf litter for invertebrates, we usually hear them before we see them. Working with Charles Taylor and Martin Cody at UCLA, amongst others, on a population of Mexican antthrush (Formicarius moniliger) in Chiapas, Mexico, we developed a method to identify individuals from their songs (Kirschel et al. 2009, Bioacoustics), and map their territorie
