Journal ArticleDOI

Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics.

Shaohong Feng, +169 more
- 12 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: The densely sampled alignment provides a single-base-pair map of selection, has more than doubled the fraction of bases that are confidently predicted to be under conservation and reveals extensive patterns of weak selection in predominantly non-coding DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Avoiding missing data biases in phylogenomic inference: an empirical study in the landfowl (Aves: Galliformes)

TL;DR: These analyses provide a well-resolved phylogeny of landfowl, including strong support for previously problematic relationships such as those among junglefowl (Gallus), and clarify the position of two enigmatic galliform genera not sampled in previous molecular phylogenetic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Earth history and the passerine superradiation

Carl H. Oliveros, +40 more
TL;DR: Recon reconstructing passerine evolutionary history and producing the most comprehensive time-calibrated phylogenetic hypothesis of the group, which suggests more complex mechanisms than temperature change or ecological opportunity have controlled macroscale patterns of passerine speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tectonic collision and uplift of Wallacea triggered the global songbird radiation.

TL;DR: It is shown that songbird diversification began in the Oligocene, but accelerated in the early Miocene, at approximately half the age of most previous estimates, reconcile songbird evolution with Earth history and link a major radiation of terrestrial biodiversity to early diversification within an isolated Australian continent.
