Interspecific hybridization as a tool to understand vocal divergence: the example of crowing in quail (Genus Coturnix).

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms that lead organisms to be separated into distinct species remains a challenge in evolutionary biology. Interspecific hybridization, which results from incomplete reproductive isolation, is a useful tool to investigate such mechanisms. In birds, interspecific hybridization is relatively frequent, despite the fact that closed species exhibit morphological and behavioural differences....
