Machine learning and statistical classification of birdsong link vocal acoustic features with phylogeny
Abstract Birdsong is a longstanding model system for studying evolution and biodiversity. Here, we collected and analyzed high quality song recordings from seven species in the family Estrildidae. We measured the acoustic features of syllables and then used dimensionality reduction and machine learn...
