Songs show strong individual-level variation and weak population-level dialects in a tropical songbird with genetic structure

2025-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Dialects in birdsongs represent population clusters and cultural diversity. Cultural and genetic variation in animals, however, do not always evolve along the same trajectory. Few studies have tested this in a wild songbird with a continuous learning strategy. Songbirds (oscine Passeriformes) with a continual learning window exhibit great song diversity and may show cultural differentiation that outpaces genetic d...
