HELLMAYR ASSOCIATE CURATOR OF BIRDS PART X ICTERIDAE WILFRED H. OSGOOD CURATOR, DEPARTMENT OP ZOOLOGY EDITOR PUBLICATION 381 CHICAGO, U.S.A. APRIL 12, 1937 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY FIELD MUSEUM PRESS v.13 EDITOR'S NOTE As a matter of convenience, the present part of the "Catalogue of the Birds of the Americas" is confined to the treatment of the family Icteridae. As prepared by the author, the manuscript cover- ing this family was included with that of the Fringillidae, and only a single introduction was written. In this, he states that "the families treated are fairly circumscribed, but their further classification offers unusual difficulties. In the case of the Troupials, the author is bound to agree with the late Robert Ridgway's view that splitting into subfamilies serves no practical purpose, since no fast lines can be drawn between the minor groups proposed by certain systematists." Various museums and individuals, as heretofore, have cooperated in the preparation of this part by supplying material and information. -

Prestige Affects Cultural Learning in Chimpanzees
Prestige Affects Cultural Learning in Chimpanzees Victoria Horner1*, Darby Proctor1, Kristin E. Bonnie2, Andrew Whiten3, Frans B. M. de Waal1 1 Living Links, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States of America, 2 Department of Psychology, Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin, United States of America, 3 Centre for Social Learning and Cognitive Evolution, School of Psychology, University of St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom Abstract Humans follow the example of prestigious, high-status individuals much more readily than that of others, such as when we copy the behavior of village elders, community leaders, or celebrities. This tendency has been declared uniquely human, yet remains untested in other species. Experimental studies of animal learning have typically focused on the learning mechanism rather than on social issues, such as who learns from whom. The latter, however, is essential to understanding how habits spread. Here we report that when given opportunities to watch alternative solutions to a foraging problem performed by two different models of their own species, chimpanzees preferentially copy the method shown by the older, higher-ranking individual with a prior track-record of success. Since both solutions were equally difficult, shown an equal number of times by each model and resulted in equal rewards, we interpret this outcome as evidence that the preferred model in each of the two groups tested enjoyed a significant degree of prestige in terms of whose example other chimpanzees chose to follow. Such prestige-based cultural transmission is a phenomenon shared with our own species. If similar biases operate in wild animal populations, the adoption of culturally transmitted innovations may be significantly shaped by the characteristics of performers. -

Genetic Diversity of Northeastern Palaearctic Bats As Revealed by DNA Barcodes

K RUSKOP1, ALEX V. B ORISENKO2, NATALIA V. I VANOVA2, BURTON K. LIM3, and JUDITH L. EGER3 1Zoological Museum of Moscow University, Ul Bol’shata Nikitskaya, 6, Moscow, Russia, 125009 2Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road E, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1G 2W1 3Department of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen’s Park, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 2C6 4Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Sequences of the DNA barcode region of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were obtained from 38 species of northeastern Palaearctic bats to assess patterns of genetic diversity. These results confirmed earlier findings of deep phylogeographic splits in four pairs of vicariant species (Myotis daubentonii/petax, M. nattereri/bombinus, Plecotus auritus/ognevi and Miniopterus schreibersii/ fuliginosus) and suggested previously unreported splits within Eptesicus nilssoni and Myotis aurascens. DNA barcodes support all taxa raised to species rank in the past 25 years and suggest that an additional species — Myotis sibiricus — should be separated from Myotis brandtii. Major phylogeographic splits occur between European and Asian populations of Myotis aurascens, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Myotis frater; smaller scale splits are observed between insular and mainland populations in the Far East (M. frater, Myotis ikonnikovi and Murina ussuriensis) and also between southeastern Europe and Ciscaucasia (Myotis daubentonii, Plecotus auritus, and Pipistrellus pipistrellus). One confirmed case of sequence sharing was observed in our dataset — Eptesicus nilssoni/serotinus. -

Each of these behaviors is performed in the context of Introduction particular manual action routines and gestures. Based on these and other findings, we suggest that vocal learning and Examining the vocal abilities of great apes is crucial to the ability to exercise volitional control over vocalization, understanding the evolution of human language and speech particularly in a multimodal context, might have figured since we diverged from our last common ancestor. Many theories on the origins of language begin with two basic premises concerning the vocal behavior of nonhuman pri- mates, especially the great apes. They assume that (1) apes (and other primates) can exercise only negligible volitional control over the production of sound with their vocal tract, and (2) they are unable to learn novel vocal behaviors beyond their species-typical repertoire (e.g., Arbib et al. -
