A paper by student Victoria Austin, completed while she was an MRes student in the lab has just been published, focused on the almost incessant singing of the chirruping wedgebill – a song that will be familiar to anyone who has worked at Fowlers Gap, or elsewhere in the range of this arid zone bird. The paper, entitled ‘Song rate and duetting in the Chirruping Wedgebill (Psophodes.cristatus): frequency, form and functions’ has been published in Emu – Austral Ornithology. The paper can be found here.
