Journal ArticleDOI
Pigmentation Genes Show Evidence of Repeated Divergence and Multiple Bouts of Introgression in Setophaga Warblers.
TL;DR: Comparisons of contrasting genomic patterns show that both independent evolution in a common set of genes and past hybridization have fueled plumage diversification in this colorful avian radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative taxonomy and geographic sampling underlie successful species delimitation
Carla Cicero,Nicholas A. Mason,Nicholas A. Mason,Rosa Alicia Jiménez,Rosa Alicia Jiménez,Daniel R. Wait,Cynthia Y Wang-Claypool,Rauri C. K. Bowie +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of both of these factors in the context of species concepts and traits and present different examples from birds that illustrate criteria for species delimitation, drawing from examples across different avian lineages.

Hybridization and the Coexistence of Species
Stephan Rixen,Marcus Döller +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that coexistence of closely related species is more often limited by insufficient assortative mating than by insufficient ecological differentiation, and they also show that very strong but incomplete mating can induce low hybrid fitness via a mating disadvantage to rare genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Evidence for Rare Hybridization and Large Demographic Changes in the Evolutionary Histories of Four North American Dove Species.
TL;DR: This paper used the mitochondrial DNA COI and 81,416 base-pairs of overlapping nuclear variation to examine the evolutionary histories and signatures of hybridization among introduced feral Rock Pigeon and Eurasian Collared-Dove and native White-winged and Mourning doves in southwestern North America.

ANGSD: Analysis of Next Generation Sequencing Data
TL;DR: A multithreaded program suite called ANGSD that can calculate various summary statistics, and perform association mapping and population genetic analyses utilizing the full information in next generation sequencing data by working directly on the raw sequencing data or by using genotype likelihoods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preservation of avian blood and tissue samples for DNA analyses
TL;DR: The efficiency of chemical solutions containing high concentrations of salts and detergent at preserving DNA in bird tissue and blood samples stored at ambient temperature for extended periods of time and DNA extracted from samples preserved in these solutions for up to 24 weeks is tested.
