Genetic consequences of sequential founder events by an island-colonizing bird
TL;DR: A genetic analysis of a series of historically documented, natural colonization events by the silvereye species-complex, a group used to illustrate the process of island colonization in the original founder effect model, suggests that single colonization events in this species complex are rarely accompanied by severe founder effects.

Microevolution in island forms: the roles of drift and directional selection in morphological divergence of a passerine bird
TL;DR: It is suggested that the observed microevolutionary changes are largely a result of directional natural selection in recently colonized island Zosterops and therefore drift alone is not an adequate explanation of morphological differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winter survival in relation to dominance classes among silvereyes zosterops lateralis chlorocephala of heron island, great barrier reef
TL;DR: The young born early in the breeding season contained proportionately more dominants than those born later in the season and dominant birds tended to survive better in winter, but the intensity of selection for an ability for dominance may fluctuate from year to year in relation to the population density and distribution and abundance of food supply.

Morphological shifts in island-dwelling birds: the roles of generalist foraging and niche expansion
Susan M. Scott,Sonya M. Clegg,Sonya M. Clegg,Simon P. Blomberg,Simon P. Blomberg,Jiro Kikkawa,Ian P. F. Owens,Ian P. F. Owens +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that generalist foraging and niche expansion are not the full explanation for morphological shifts in island‐dwelling white‐eyes, and five alternative explanations for Morphological divergence in insular populations are reviewed.
