- Studies of birdsong across very broad geographic scales, such as between the north temperate zone and the tropics, provide special opportunities to understand the role of variable ecologies, life-histories and mating pressures on song structure and organization. The problem is typically studied through comparative, cross-species analyses because few species have such broad distributions to encompass both regions. The House Wren is an important exception,having the widest distribution of any native songbird in the Americas, from Canada to Tierra del Fuego. Across this range, they manifest considerable variation in life-history, mating systems and migration, but there is no systematic research on corresponding song variation. Here we provide a first detailed characterization of song structure and organization for Southern House Wrens (T. aedon chilensis) in western Argentina, and provide preliminary comparisons to Northern House Wrens. Songs of Southern House Wrens contained two distinct sections: an Introduction of broadband noisy, or harmonic, notes followed by a louder Terminal section of tonal, frequency13 modulated syllables with a mean of 7 syllables and three syllable types per song. The syllable repertoire was large (28), mostly shared, and used to construct very large song repertoires (up to 170 song types with no evidence of a ceiling), but much smaller repertoires of commonly produced song types (24). Males tended to repeat song types many times before switching (eventual variety) but, at times, sang with immediate variety. Compared to Northern House Wrens, there were differences in the detailed form of some notes and syllables as well as in the relative emphasis of the softer Introduction versus louder Terminal section of songs. In broader patterns of song construction, organization, delivery, and the size of syllable and song repertoires the two populations were very similar. These patterns are discussed in light of differences in life history, mating and migration between them.
