“…Finally, Marler and Tamura [5] suggested males preferentially disperse to areas where the local males already sing familiar song (see also [39]). Consistent with this last suggestion, several studies found evidence that suggests that dispersal may be reduced across dialect boundaries [40]–[42], while others simply document a correlation between dialect boundaries and genetic differences or reductions in gene flow between populations (e.g. white-crowned sparrow [43]–[45].…”

Bird song has been hypothesized to play a role in several important aspects of the biology of songbirds, including the generation of taxonomic diversity by speciation; however, the role that song plays in speciation within this group may be dependent upon the ability of populations to maintain population specific songs or calls in the face of gene flow and external cultural influences. Here, in an exploratory study, we construct a spatially explicit model of population movement to examine the consequences of secondary contact of populations singing distinct songs. We concentrate on two broad questions: 1) will population specific songs be maintained in a contact zone or will they be replaced by shared song, and 2) what spatial patterns in the distribution of songs may result from contact? We examine the effects of multiple factors including song-based mating preferences and movement probabilities, oblique versus paternal learning of song, and both cultural and genetic mutations. We find a variety of conditions under which population specific songs can be maintained, particularly when females have preferences for their population specific songs, and we document many distinct patterns of song distribution within the contact zone, including clines, banding, and mosaics.

Abstract. -Neighboring males of indigo buntings (Passerina cyanea) share songs in southern Michigan. We sampled polymorphic enzymes to compare the genetic variation between mates and the variation among contiguous song neighborhoods. Mate choice was independent ofthe genetic and morphometric similarity of female and male, and these measures were independent of each other. The incidence of extrapair copulations and fertilizations was independent ofthe song ofcuckolding males. Breeding success of the mated pairs was independent of their genetic or morphological similarity. Males characterized by different song dialects did not differ in mean lifetime reproductive success. We found no significant genetic differences among the neighborhoods. Most birds that bred in one song neighborhood were born in another, and neighborhoods were not isolated demes. Bunting songs may provide no information to a female about genetic quality of males. The results are consistent with a neutral model of no mate choice for genes.
