“…Traditionally, taxonomy has been based on morphological criteria, as these were the only criteria that could be studied on museum specimens. However, avian species delimitation is now typically based on a body of evidence integrating morphological, acoustic, genetic and other data (e.g., Alström et al 2007Alström et al , 2008Alström et al , 2015aAlström et al , 2016Alström et al , 2021avan Els & Norambuena 2018;Sangster 2022). Vocalizations are especially important in avian systematics as they can reflect species divergence and differentiation (Alström & Ranft 2003) but also directly contribute to reproductive barriers (Price 2008), although differences in vocalizations are not systematically linked to evolutionary divergences (Potvin et al 2013).…”
