Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 816-829, May 2021., 2021 Male song can signal species identity and male quality, and behavioural response to song can drive divergence or introgression. In this study, we describe clear differences in male song types and a weak signal of population genetic difference across two populations of small tree finch on two Galapagos Islands. Resident males responded to the song of an
