"Of thousands of others, nearer the centre of the explosion, there was no trace. They vanished. The theory in Hiroshima is that the atomic heat was so great that they burned instantly to ashes - except that there were no ashes."

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

Breeding

"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

"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

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

Information

"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

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

Behavior

"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."

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

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

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

"Males transmit signals in courtship through behavioral displays."

"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."
