Although a significant amount of research was done on bird song during the 20th century, none was able to elucidate the evolutionary "use" behind birdsong, especially with regards to large vocal repertoires. In response, Lachlan and Slater proposed a "cultural trap" model to explain persistence of wide varieties of song. [112] This model is based on a concept of "filters", in which:Krause, Bernard L.

Stephen is a man almost broken by love and by war, but while some of his fellow-soldiers are happy to die, unable to comprehend the sights they have seen, Stephen becomes more and more determined to survive. In this, he is encouraged by Captain Gray. Their philosophical exchanges about what they have witnessed are terse, but Stephen gives fuller vent to his feelings in a coded diary, which he keeps in spite of military regulations.

Cyber incident

At the end of the first half, there is original footage of soldiers waiting to go over their trenches, into the brave and bloody battle of the Somme. It provides a potent moment of dramatic pause, but what follows is an extended narration by Faulks, set against the image of a soldier walking into the field, along with images of commemorative lists of the dead and gravestones. It is unclear whether this is part of the drama or an official pause from it, and while the documentary footage and narration are powerful, they combine oddly to push us out of the story.

Based on this evidence of learning and localized song types, researchers began to investigate the social learning of birdsong as a form of cultural transmission. [29] [107] The behavior patterns constituting this culture are the songs themselves, and the song types can be considered as traditions. a b Robinson, A. (1948).
