Abstract:[Objectives] Song plays an important role in the phylogeny and evolution of passerine birds. Recent taxonomic studies have separated the genus Fulvetta and the genus Alcippe, and the vocal characteristics of the genus Fulvetta have not yet been studied. We are aiming to reveal the vocal characteristics and classify the interspecific difference of the seven species of the genus Fulvetta in the family Paradoxornithidae. It is hoped to provide primary biological data for the vocal study of this genus. [Methods] From 2016 to 2022, during the breeding and non-breeding seasons of the Fulvetta species, we recorded the calls and songs from their occurring habitat in the field. A total of 463 individuals were recorded for Spectacled Fulvetta (F. ruficapilla, n = 64), Streak-throated Fulvetta (F. manipurensis, n = 71), White-browed Fulvetta (F. vinipectus, n = 124), Chinese Fulvetta (F. striaticollis, n = 64), Brown-throated Fulvetta (F. ludlowi, n = 33), Grey-hooded Fulvetta (F. cinereiceps, n = 84) and Taiwan Fulvetta (F. formosana, n = 23), respectively (Fig. 1). The acoustic sonogram was drafted and analyzed in Raven Pro1.5. The MANOVA was used to compare the vocal parameters between species. Blomberg’s K test was used to detect phylogenetic signals. The Mantel test was executed in PAST to detect the correlation between the Mahalanobis distance matrix of the singing characteristics and the matrix of interspecific genetic distance. The hierarchical cluster analysis was performed for 7 species acoustic. [Results] Based on the field observation of its singing behavior, recorded vocalizations were classified into calls and songs, and calls were further classified into contact call, search call, alarm call, and foraging call (Fig. 3). Songs were classified into 1﹣8 types for each species, based on manual checking of sonograms (Fig. 4). The calls and songs differed significantly between species (Table 1). The Mantel test showed that the songs’ characteristics were significantly positively correlated with their interspecific genetic distance (r = 0.51, P = 0.01), but the calls’ characteristics showed no correlation with their genetic distance (r = 0.028, P = 0.45) (Table 2). Phylogenetic signal analysis showed that six of the vocal characteristics were phylogenetically conserved, four of which were detected in the song features, i.e., maximum frequency, minimum frequency, peak frequency and delta time, and the other 2 in their calls, i.e., maximum frequency and delta frequency (Table 3). The cluster analysis based on acoustic characteristics showed that the interspecific topology was generally consistent with its phylogeny, except for the position of F. vinipectus and F. formosana (Fig. 5). [Conclusion] This study initially revealed the vocal characteristics of 7 species of the Fulvetta genus and detected their interspecific differences. It concluded that the song’s but not the call’s features correspond to phylogeny, i.e., the closer related species share more similarity in their songs. Our study provided basic data and new insights into the evolution of the vocalizations of the Fulvetta birds.
