Since the pioneering studies of William Thorpe and Peter Marler, songbirds and their songs have served continuously as an inspirational muse to behavioral biologists (Catchpole and Slater, 2008; Marler and Slabbekoorn, 2004; Marler, 1957; Thorpe, 1958a). This is due not only to songbirds’ improbably rich diversity in song form and function, but also to the fascinating intricacy and complexity of the mechanisms that guide vocal production and development. Of particular interest in recent years has been the interplay between evolutionary and proximate realms. Representative questions raised in recent literature reviews well-illustrate this point: How is song diversity and function enriched by varying programs for song learning (Beecher and Brenowitz, 2005; Nelson et al., 1995)? How does variation in mechanisms underlying vocal learning and production contribute to vocal diversity and evolution (Jarvis, 2004; ten Cate, 2004)? How do mechanisms of song learning contribute to the reliability of information encoded in song (Buchanan, 2000; Nowicki et al., 1998)? This chapter focuses on the interface of vocal performance and song development. Evidence is mounting that birds’ vocal performance capacities can limit or bias aspects of the song phenotype (reviewed by Lambrechts, 1996; Podos and Nowicki, 2004; Suthers, 2004; Suthers and Goller, 1997). Less clear is the nature of the relationship between vocal performance and the processes that guide song development. As we review below, songs of many bird species develop through imitative learning, a two-step process in which young birds first memorize the structure of adult models (the ‘‘memorization’’ phase), and then match memorized models by
