  • Social context and response to female voice: Audience effect in the male Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) How behaviour and underlying brain functions are shaped by social context remains a poorly explored domain.Here, we review two recent studies on Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata) which focus on this question. In this species, communication behaviour within male and female pair appears to be strongly regulated by the presence ofother individuals. Investigation at brain level shows that the sound-induced immediate early gene response is alsohighly sensitive to the audience effect.
