The role of learned song in the evolution and speciation of Eastern and Spotted towhees. by Ximena León Du'Mottuchi, Nicole Creanza

“…While no single song feature reliably distinguishes the two species, machine learning models classified songs with relatively high accuracy (random forest: 89.5%, deep learning: 90%, gradient boosting machine: 88%, convolutional neural network: 88%); interestingly, species classification was less accurate in their zone of overlap. Finally, our analysis of the limited publicly available genetic data from each species supports the hypothesis that the species are reproductively isolated. …”
