Song matching in song sparrows
Neighbors share some, but not all, songs in their repertoire
In contests, individuals can
-songtype match,
-repertoire match, or
- fail to match
Interactive playbacks show rate of singing, rate of songtype switching, and type of matching all indicate aggressive motivation
Intruders with larger repertoires who can match songtypes are more successful gaining territories
