Abstract
Abstract Intrapopulational variation in the songs of territorial male White-eyed Vireos (Vireo griseus griseus) was studied at Gainesville, Florida during 1977 and 1978. The motifs in the song repertoires of 40 color-banded males were analyzed in detail. Individual male White-eyed Vireos used 1-14 different motifs. A quantitative sequence-comparison measure of song dissimilarity was used to compare song repertoires. No relationship was found between the dissimilarity of individuals' song repertoires and the map distances between their territories. Unexpectedly, pairs of neighboring males had more dissimilar song repertoires than non-neighboring pairs of vireos.
