Toews et al. assert that strong reproductive isolation in is inconsistent with other lines of evidence. Here, we discuss how strong yet incomplete reproductive isolation is consistent with other results from this system.

- Forest cover in the eastern U.S. has increased, benefitting some late-successional species while others, like the cerulean warbler, are declining due to reduced small-scale disturbances such as fire and treefalls.
- An experimental study using partial timber harvest found that while cerulean warbler densities improved after disturbances, reproduction rates remained low, especially in southern regions.
- The findings suggest that managing disturbances needs to balance attracting cerulean warblers to improved habitats while being cautious of creating ecological traps, particularly in southern regions where the species currently thrives.
