Description

Species-specific vocalizations can be reproductive isolating mechanisms among closely related populations. We analyze vocal divergence between two hybridizing species of shorebirds, the Northern Jacana (Jacana spinosa) and Wattled Jacana (Jacana jacana). As these species are both sexually dimorphic, we also compare calls between males and females. Page 20 of the CELT Research Abstract Booklet.
