An important part of this summer's research is to conduct playback experiments to evaluate the aggressive responses of males to historical songs from 1983 versus current songs from 2018.  I started playback experiments comparing male aggressive responses to Hearst 1983 songs versus Hearst 2018 songs on 16 June, 2018.   I  could only complete two experiments because of an early evening rain event.  I finished the remaining eight experiments on the morning of 17 June, 2018.
