Song repertoire changes can warn of fragmentation before genetic markers do

Evidence

As stated by Laiolo and Tella (2005), “bird vocalizations might become an early warning system detecting the effects of fragmentation over relatively short times and before other indicators (such as genetic markers).” — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 231
