The vocalization period of the Little Crake is short but intensive, peaking before the start of incubation. In general, Water Rails produced more vocalizations in the evening than in the morning. The vocal activity of the Little Crake peaked at dawn. In both species a peak in vocal output occurred shortly before sunrise and before sunset.}, type={Text}, title={Temporal pattern of vocal activity of the water rail Rallus aquaticus and the little crake Porzana parva in the breeding season}, volume={40}, number={1}, journal={Acta Ornithologica}, publisher={Museum & Institute of Zoology}, keywords={Water Rail, Rallus aquaticus, Little Crake, Porzana parva, vocal activity}, }
