Zusammenfassung

Isoliert gehaltene Buchfinken (Fringilla coelebs L.) reduzieren fast alle ihre Verhaltensreaktionen auf Tonaufnahmen arteigener Alarmrufe bei täglich zweimaliger Darbietung desselben Musters nach ca. 6 Tagen auf einen Nullwert. Die fehlende Auslöserwirkung ist an das spezifische Muster der Gewöhnungsattrappe gebunden. Geringfügige Änderungen in verschiedenen Parametern riefen wieder Reaktionen hervor.
