An eye for detail: selective sexual imprinting in zebra finches.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2006

Burley Nancy Tyler

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the idea that sexual imprinting creates incipient reproductive isolation between phenotypically diverging populations, I performed experiments to determine whether colony-reared zebra finches would imprint on details of artificial white crests. In the first experiment, adults in one breeding colony wore white crests with a vertical black stripe, while in another colony adults wore crests having a...
