"I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook round the mesh."

"The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise."

Theory

"Almost nothing is known from hybridization studies about the inheritance of courtship behavior of females, or of their responsiveness to particular male signals."

Behavior

"Plumage features constitute a major component of courtship signals."

Courtship

"Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection."

Inheritance

"Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties."

Information

"Thus mating of females was strictly along the lines of paternal song."

Music

"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

"The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted."
