Abstract

The isolation caused by habitat fragmentation may promote morphological and behavioral divergences, even in Suboscine birds. Formicarius colma is a Miocene specie, which has today a disjunct distribution among atlantic and amazonic forest and four subspecies. To evaluate significant differences among their subspecies vocalizations we analyze 73 records with 16 bioacoustic parameters. To analyze acoustic similarity we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA), t tests and ANOVA. The F. colma vocalization is a trill, ranging from 2.4 to 3.5 kHz, with dominant frequency of 2.48 kHz and mean duration of 2,8 s. The grouping analysis not shows statistics differences among F. colma subspecies vocalizations, even among disjunct populations. Howsoever, we can observe a tendency of segregation among amazonic and atlantic populations. This acoustic similarity may be relate to the low vocal plasticity founded in Suboscine and environmental pressure over these populations are not been adequate to select distinct modulations on subspecies song. Therefore, even a great separation time there are no significant vocal differences among studied population.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
