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

Unnatural selection in Galapagos : the role of disease in Darwin’s Finches (Geospizinae) [PDF]
Micro-evolutionary studies, such as those of Darwin’s finches (Geospizinae), have been used as indicators of rates of evolution under natural selection. Today however, such studies may be compromised by unnatural selection. Recently introduced infectious
