Autosomal, sex-linked and mitochondrial loci resolve evolutionary relationships among wrens in the genus Campylorhynchus

Autor: Hernán Vázquez-Miranda, F. Keith Barker

Publikováno v: Molecular phylogenetics and evolution. 163

Although there is general consensus that sampling of multiple genetic loci is critical in accurate reconstruction of species trees, the exact numbers and the best types of molecular markers remain an open question. In particular, the phylogenetic uti

Mitochondrial DNA is an important tool for inference of population history in animals. A variety of mitochondrial loci have been sampled for this purpose, but many studies focus on the non-coding D-loop or control region (CR), which in at least some

Big groups attract bad eggs: brood parasitism correlates with but does not cause cooperative breeding

Autor: Michael T. Wells, F. Keith Barker

Publikováno v: Animal Behaviour. 133:47-56

There has been great interest in how complex social behaviours such as cooperative breeding evolve and are maintained; however, it is still unclear what exact phenomena trigger the transition to cooperative breeding. Recent work in birds has suggeste
