英文摘要	Environmental stress, especially during development, can cause important phenotypic changes in individuals. In songbirds, these stress -induced changes have been shown to include impaired learning of song and reduced song complexity in several species. Typically, developmental stress has been studied in terms of individual variation within a population; however, birdsong, a culturally transmitted trait, may undergo relatively rapid changes if widespread learning impairment results from population -level environmental stress, and these changes could potentially be amplified if affected individuals become the song tutors for future generations. We thus hypothesize that ecosystem -wide stressors may cause population -level changes to birdsong. Here, we use publicly available birdsong recordings to determine whether song differences were evident after an abnormal and severe 2016 drought in western New York State. We analyzed birdsong recordings of two species, the Dark -eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis) and the Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia), recorded between 2006-2020 in the drought -affected region and, for comparison, in two nearby regions less affected by the drought. The population -level song features of the species with more complex songs (Song Sparrow) changed in the drought area after 2016, but not in the control area. In the species with a more simple song (Dark -eyed Junco), we detected song changes in both regions, suggesting that the drought did not have an outsized effect on song in this species. These findings support a more nuanced hypothesis that stress -induced deficits may disproportionately affect species with songs that are more difficult to learn. These conclusions are tempered by the relatively sparse recording availability from years prior to 2016, but we predict that future longitudinal studies of song evolution in natural populations will be more tractable given the nearly exponential increase in the number of song recordings deposited in public repositories in recent years, making this experimental design a useful framework for future studies.
