"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

"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

"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

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