Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds

Erich D. Jarvis, +116 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.

Guojie Zhang, +106 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: This work explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades to reveal that pan-avian genomic diversity covaries with adaptations to different lifestyles and convergent evolution of traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parallel radiations in the primary clades of birds

TL;DR: Examination of intron 7 of the β‐fibrinogen gene in the most taxonomically inclusive survey of DNA sequences of nonpasserine bird families and orders to date suggests that Neoaves consist of two sister clades with ecological parallelisms comparable to those found between marsupial and placental mammals.
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

Critical evaluation of DNA hybridization studies in avian systematics

TL;DR: I demonstrated statistically significant differences in rates of DNA evolution for a few passerine birds that vitiate the role of DNA hybridization as the direct indicator of kinship.
