Genetic continuity of brood-parasitic indigobird species.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2005

Sefc Kristina M, Payne Robert B, Sorenson Michael D

Abstract excerpt

Speciation in brood-parasitic indigobirds (genus Vidua) is a consequence of behavioural imprinting in both males and females. Mimicry of host song by males and host fidelity in female egg laying result in reproductive isolation of indigobirds associated with a given host species. Colonization of new hosts and subsequent speciation require that females occasionally lay eggs in the nests of novel hosts but the same...
