"Species can be recognized by their morphological characteristics and songs."

Music

"The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow."

Population

"Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools."

Breeding

Choice

"Males transmit signals in courtship through behavioral displays."
