"Islands are known to differ in the food supply available to ground finches, mainly seeds."

Food

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

Music

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

Choice

"To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life."

Life

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

Behavior

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

Information

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