"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."
"Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools."
"The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted."
