To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.

Evidence of epistasis from hybridization studies is more scarce.

Plumage features constitute a major component of courtship signals.

The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise.

The process of speciation is completed with the cessation of genetic exchange.

Almost nothing is known from hybridization studies about the inheritance of courtship behavior of females, or of their responsiveness to particular male signals.

Males transmit signals in courtship through behavioral displays.

Thus mating of females was strictly along the lines of paternal song.

Species can be recognized by their morphological characteristics and songs.

Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection.

We observe closely related species in sympatry and infer how they evolved from a common ancestor.

Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties.

The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow.

Closely related species of birds are also chromosomally similar.

Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools.

The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted.

I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.

Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.

Islands are known to differ in the food supply available to ground finches, mainly seeds.

I've always done food that can work in a set time frame. The message I'm trying to get across is, it doesn't have to take three days to do this. With planning, you can do a lot and really have quality food every day.

You know, nobody eats in England. Three or four pints of English beer a night fills you. I can't say I'm very impressed with the food in America. it's all sort of bland. Like turkey sandwiches.

Food simply isn't important to me.

It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.

It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear out but clothes, To keep one from going nude.

We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us, food was part of the fabric of our day.

I've always preferred food be on the blander side.

The high food value of field beans and the shortage of supply due to the light yields of 1915 and 1916 render them of great importance in the regions to which they are adapted.

Mostly I enjoy the restaurants (my husband is a chef), though I wish we had a wider diversity of ethnic food.

You know the great irony is that people think you have to have money to enjoy fine food, which is a shame.

Unfortunately, the food industry has not yet faced this situation and begun taking measures to avoid exploiting our weakness for not knowing when we have had enough.

All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor.

Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services where all the food for the cast and crew was and I would eat.

Italy in the first years got food, for the first year or the first periods got food. Then we got raw materials and then we got tool machines, let's say, instruments for working.

Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.

I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.

Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before.

I grew up on food stamps. I come from a very humble background. And I've had many friends that have been destitute - you know, running into trouble - and places like The Midnight Mission have given them hope and have fed them and gotten them back on the right path.

Each of us needs something - food, liquor, pot, whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food.

Oh, the tiger will love you. There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

I know it's not cat food, but what exactly is it that they put inside of tinned ravioli?

Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of, say, genetically modified food, as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can.

Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry.
