Bird Song as a Possible Cultural Mechanism for Speciation
http://www.cpm.mmu.ac.uk/jom-emit/1997/vol1/vaneechoutte_m.html
A fleshed out outline of the topic is presented. “As such, bird songs can be considered purely cultural, behavioural phenomena with no determining roots in genetics. Combined with - equally culturally determined - differential preferences of females for male bird songs, one can hypothesize about cultural mechanisms which may increase genetic polymorphism in a population.”
