When babies learn to talk or birds learn to sing, the same principle applies: listen and then imitate. This is how the first babble becomes the first word or vocalization. Male zebra finch chicks initially memorize the song of an adult bird. Later, they refine their own vocalization until they resemble the learned song.
Researchers find babbling by zebra finch chicks is important step to memorizing songs retrieved 17 April 2024 from https://phys.org/news/2024-04-babbling-zebra-finch-chicks-important.html

Researchers develop genomic method of monitoring for pesticide resistanceFarmers rely on pesticides to control agricultural pests. But insects often develop resistance to the toxins in pesticides. University of Maryland researchers have developed and successfully tested a strategy for using genomics to monitor for and identify emerging resistance to specific toxins early, well before it becomes a widespread problem.
