Evolution and connectivity in the world-wide migration system of the mallard: Inferences from mitochondrial DNA

BMC Genetics, 2011
Background Main waterfowl migration systems are well understood through ringing activities. However, in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) ringing studies suggest deviations from general migratory trends and traditions in waterfowl.

Strong mitochondrial DNA support for a Cretaceous origin of modern avian lineages

BMC Biology, 2008
Background Determining an absolute timescale for avian evolutionary history has proven contentious. The two sources of information available, paleontological data and inference from extant molecular genetic sequences (colloquially, 'rocks' and 'clocks'),

Historic genetic structuring and paraphyly within the Great-tailed Grackle

, 2008
The Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) and Boat-tailed Grackle (Q. major) are sister species that have expanded their ranges during historical times. This expansion has created an area of sympatry between these species in Texas and Louisiana, and

Population Genetic Structure and Species Delimitation of a Widespread, Neotropical Dwarf Gecko [PDF]

, 2019
Amazonia harbors the greatest biological diversity on Earth. One trend that spans Amazonian taxa is that most taxonomic groups either exhibit broad geographic ranges or small restricted ranges.

Evidence supporting the recent origin and species status of the Timberline Sparrow

, 1999
The Timberline Sparrow (Spizella taverneri), although originally described as a species, is currently classified as a subspecies of the more widespread Brewer\u27s Sparrow (S. breweri). We investigated the taxonomic status and recent evolutionary history
