Definition of suboscine in English: suboscineadjective sʌbˈɒsʌɪnsʌbˈɒsɪn-īn Ornithology Relating to or denoting passerine birds of a division that includes those other than songbirds, found chiefly in America. 〔鸟〕亚鸣禽超科。比较OSCINE Suborder Deutero-Oscines, order Passeriformes Compare with oscine Example sentencesExamples - Geographic variation in song among suboscine birds has been taken to indicate genetic divergence.
- We tested whether a suboscine bird, the alder flycatcher, was able to discriminate between songs of neighbors and strangers despite limited individual variation in song.
- The split between the oscine and suboscine lineages is assumed to have occurred in the late Cretaceous, when the South American and Indian tectonic plates became isolated.
- Although the same codon deletion is found in representatives of at least two other avian orders, it is not present in lineages representing a diverse group of suboscine and oscine passerines.
- All tyrant flycatchers in the genus Empidonax, called empids out of either affection or frustration, are suboscine songbirds with olive upperparts, pale throats and bellies, and whitish wing-bars and eye-rings.
noun sʌbˈɒsʌɪnsʌbˈɒsɪn-īn Ornithology A bird of the suboscine division. Example sentencesExamples - All of these suboscines - both Old World and New - thus have geographical distributions that point back to Gondwana, and their beginnings there make even more sense once their close relatives, the songbirds, are taken into account.
- Chesser examined the molecular systematics of the New World suboscines and included three antpitta genera (Grallaricula, Myrmothera, and Grallaria) and one antthrush in the study.
- Particularly among suboscines, subtle differences in songs often separate closely related species, as recently confirmed for thamnophilid antbirds.
- Despite the predominance of suboscines in the Neotropics, our knowledge of bird song and its functions is biased heavily toward studies of oscines.
- Because vocalizations in suboscines are assumed to be inherited characters, not learned, they have been used frequently in assessing species limits and providing clues to genetic discontinuities among suboscine populations.
