Journal ArticleDOI
A Phylogenomic Study of Birds Reveals Their Evolutionary History
Shannon J. Hackett,Rebecca T. Kimball,Sushma Reddy,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Edward L. Braun,Michael J. Braun,Jena L. Chojnowski,W. Andrew Cox,Kin Lan Han,John Harshman,Christopher J. Huddleston,Ben D. Marks,Kathleen J. Miglia,William S. Moore,Frederick H. Sheldon,David W. Steadman,Christopher C. Witt,Tamaki Yuri +17 more
TL;DR: This study examined ∼32 kilobases of aligned nuclear DNA sequences from 19 independent loci for 169 species, representing all major extant groups, and recovered a robust phylogeny from a genome-wide signal supported by multiple analytical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical sampling bias and its implications for conservation priorities in Africa
Sushma Reddy,Liliana M. Dávalos +1 more
TL;DR: To design and apply statistical tests for measuring sampling bias in the raw data used to the determine priority areas for conservation, and to discuss their impact on conservation analyses for the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why Do Phylogenomic Data Sets Yield Conflicting Trees? Data Type Influences the Avian Tree of Life more than Taxon Sampling.
Sushma Reddy,Rebecca T. Kimball,Akanksha Pandey,Peter A. Hosner,Peter A. Hosner,Michael J. Braun,Shannon J. Hackett,Kin Lan Han,John Harshman,Christopher J. Huddleston,Sarah E. Kingston,Sarah E. Kingston,Sarah E. Kingston,Ben D. Marks,Kathleen J. Miglia,William S. Moore,Frederick H. Sheldon,Christopher C. Witt,Tamaki Yuri,Tamaki Yuri,Edward L. Braun +20 more
TL;DR: If incongruence among trees estimated using phylogenomic methods largely reflects problems with model fit developing more “biologically‐realistic” models is likely to be critical for efforts to reconstruct the tree of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic evidence for multiple losses of flight in ratite birds
John Harshman,Edward L. Braun,Michael J. Braun,Michael J. Braun,Christopher J. Huddleston,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Jena L. Chojnowski,Shannon J. Hackett,Kin Lan Han,Kin Lan Han,Kin Lan Han,Rebecca T. Kimball,Ben D. Marks,Kathleen J. Miglia,William S. Moore,Sushma Reddy,Frederick H. Sheldon,David W. Steadman,Scott J. Steppan,Christopher C. Witt,Christopher C. Witt,Tamaki Yuri,Tamaki Yuri +24 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analyses of 20 unlinked nuclear genes reveal a genome-wide signal that unequivocally places tinamous within ratites, making ratites polyphyletic and suggesting multiple losses of flight.
Journal ArticleDOI
A well-tested set of primers to amplify regions spread across the avian genome.
Rebecca T. Kimball,Edward L. Braun,F. Keith Barker,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Michael J. Braun,Jena L. Chojnowski,Shannon J. Hackett,Kin Lan Han,John Harshman,Victoria Heimer-Torres,Wallace Holznagel,Christopher J. Huddleston,Ben D. Marks,Kathleen J. Miglia,William S. Moore,Sushma Reddy,Frederick H. Sheldon,Jordan V. Smith,Christopher C. Witt,Tamaki Yuri +19 more
TL;DR: SNPs present in these rapidly evolving regions are increasingly being used as markers because they provide anopportun ity to assess a large number of unlinked loci for a range of population questions and have the potential to be used in parentage studies and for quantitativegenetic studies in wild populations.
