This paper shows that “heat calls” that were claimed bea series of peeviois studies to be evolved signals given by incubating female zebrafinches to program their offspring to cope with heat, are merely sounds emerging as side effects of panting and are too soft in amplitude to be audible.

Zebra finches produce soft laryngeal whistles during thermal panting that are not adaptive vocal signals
Zebra finch heat calls are suggested to have close-range communicative relevance in the global temperature rise context. Anttonen et al. identify the biophysical mechanism underlying these vocalizatio...
