“…Baker & Cunningham (1985) and Zink (1985) offer differing views on the relationship between song dialects and gene flow in white-crowned sparrows. Recent work on indigo buntings (Payne & Westneat, 1988) and brownheaded cowbirds (Fleischer & Rothstein, 1988) indicate different vocal dialects do not lead to genetic differentiation between populations in the first case and do not impede gene flow between populations or subspecies in the second.…”

The dewlap of male anoline lizards is an important component of the mate recognition system. Much attention has focussed on the role dewlap colour plays in the interactions between species of Anolis but little has been paid to the effects of intraspecific variability in this feature. Patterns of intrasubspecific variability in this feature are described for several subspecies of Anolis distichus and A. breuirostris. In most cases variability in dewlap colour appears unrelated to the amount of electrophoretic variability and the level of population differentiation, although there is some evidence for large scale geographic subdivision within three of the taxa examined. Female choice and the implications for various species concepts are discussed.

“…Genetic structure has been examined in a number of songbird species, and the general pattern seen is that vocal variation is uncorrelated with genetic variation in most populations (Fleischer and Rothstein 1988; Lougheed and Handford 1992; Payne and Westneat 1988; Soha et al 2004), and weakly correlated in the remainder (Baker 1982; MacDougall-Shackleton and MacDougall-Shackleton 2001; Zink and Barrowclough 1984). A lack of concordance between dialects and genetic structure has also been observed in two of the three parrot species in which it has been examined, the Port Lincoln Parrot and the Yellow-naped Amazon (Baker 2008; Wright et al 2005; Wright and Wilkinson 2001).…”

Vocal dialects have fascinated biologists for over 50 years. This mosaic pattern of geographic variation in learned vocalizations was first described in a songbird, and since that time, most studies investigating dialects have focused on songbird species. Here we examine patterns of geographic variation in the calls of a different group of vocal learning birds, the parrots (Order Psittaciformes). We summarize the growing literature on vocal variation in parrots, and complement this review with a survey of variation in the genus Amazona using calls from sound libraries. We find strikingly similar patterns to those previously found in songbirds. Over 90% of parrots examined in the literature, and 69% of Amazona species surveyed, showed geographic variation consistent with a propensity to share local call types. This trait is evolutionarily labile and widespread; within Amazona most clades contained species with and without geographic variation, and most major lineages of parrots include representatives with dialects. We found little support for the long-standing hypothesis that dialects isolate populations and thus generate genetic differences among populations. Instead, most studies support the idea that dialects are maintained by social benefits of matching local call types, a finding that has implications for the management of captive and endangered populations. Considerable scope remains for studies that experimentally test hypotheses for the exact nature of these benefits, as well as studies that employ comparisons among species, to understand how the interplay between ecology, social dynamics and vocal learning capacities produces different patterns of variation across the parrots.

“…One study area was located at the E. S. George Reserve and neighboring Pinckney State Recreation Area (42027'N, 84000'W), in woodland, in old fields that had been cultivated before the 1930s, and in shrubby swamps. The other area was near Niles (4 155'N, 86014'W), along shrubby roadsides and a railway right-ofway, in secondary woodland, in old fields, and in cultivated fields of maize and beans (Payne 1982(Payne , 1983a(Payne , 1983b(Payne , 1989(Payne , 1991(Payne , 1992Payne and Westneat 1988;Payne 1989, 1990).…”
