Colorful signals in nature provide some of the most stunning examples of rapid phenotypic evolution. Yet, studying color pattern evolution has been historically difficult owing to differences in perceptual ability of humans and analytical challenges

In this study, we infer genus-level relationships within shrikes (Laniidae), crows (Corvidae), and their allies using ultraconserved elements (UCEs). We confirm previous results of the Crested Shrikejay (Platylophus galericulatus) as comprising its o

Complex plumages spur rapid color diversification in island kingfishers (Aves: Alcedinidae)

Autor: Chad M. Eliason, Jenna M. McCullough, Shannon J. Hackett, Michael J. Andersen

Oceanic islands are cradles for diversity. Differences in predation pressures and lack of competition on islands are thought to drive both phenotypic and species diversification. While most work exploring these patterns has focused on life history, b

Hybridization, introgression, and reciprocal gene flow during speciation, specifically the generation of mitonuclear discordance, are increasingly observed as parts of the speciation process. Genomic approaches provide insight into where, when, and h

Little is known of the natural history of the Solomons Nightjar (Eurostopodus nigripennis) due to its restricted range and reclusive nature. Here we describe the breeding biology of E. nigripennis based on nests found in the Western Province, Solomon
