提要。鸣禽获得其物种的发育过程--典型的鸣禽--已经从近距离的角度得到了很好的研究，但对鸟类为什么学会唱歌的终极问题关注较少。我们对鸣禽的鸣叫学习的适应性意义提出了一个新的假说，认为鸣禽这种特殊的声音发育形式提供了一种指示机制，雌性可以通过它来准确地评估潜在配偶的质量。这一假设扩展了已有的观点，即歌曲可以提供男性质量的指标，但它明确地将女性用来选择配偶的歌曲表达的变化与获得歌曲的发育过程联系起来。雄鸟的歌唱水平--反映在曲目的大小或雄鸟歌唱行为的其他习得特征上--提供了一个诚实的质量指标，因为歌曲学习的时机，以及更重要的是，参与学习的大脑结构的发育时间对应于幼鸟最有可能承受营养压力的发育时期。这种对应关系意味着，歌曲学习总体上可以提供早期发育史的敏感指标，而这反过来又反映了潜在配偶的表型和基因质量的各个方面。
SYNOPSIS. The developmental processes through which songbirds acquire their species—typical songs have been well—studied from a proximate perspective, but less attention has been given to the ultimate question of why birds learn to sing. We present a new hypothesis for the adaptive significance of song learning in songbirds, suggesting that this specialized form of vocal development provides an indicator mechanism by which females can accurately assess the quality of potential mates. This hypothesis expands on the established idea that song can provide an indicator of male quality, but it explicitly links the variation in song expression that females use to choose mates to the developmental processes through which song is acquired. How well a male sings—reflected in repertoire size or in other learned features of a male's singing behavior—provides an honest indicator of quality because the timing of song learning and, more importantly, the timing of the development of brain structures mediating learning corresponds to a period in development during which young songbirds are most likely to undergo nutritional stress. This correspondence means that song learning can provide a sensitive indicator of early developmental history in general, which in turn reflects various aspects of the phenotypic and genotypic quality of a potential mate.
