The mitochondrial genome of the venomous cone snail conus consors [PDF]

, 2012
Cone snails are venomous predatory marine neogastropods that belong to the species-rich superfamily of the Conoidea. So far, the mitochondrial genomes of two cone snail species (Conus textile and Conus borgesi) have been described, and these feed on ...

An Intergeneric Hybrid Between Historically Isolated Temperate and Tropical Jays Following Recent Range Expansion. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We document the first known hybridization event between the Green Jay (Cyanocorax yncas) and Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), two distantly related species whose ranges now overlap in Texas due to climate‐driven range expansions. Genetic and morphological evidence confirm this unprecedented hybridization, which represents a remarkable breach of ...

Museomics and Salvaged Feathers Piece Together the Evolutionary History and Conservation Genomics of the Elusive, Critically Endangered Night Parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The Night Parrot is a critically endangered nocturnal bird of Australia's arid zone. The species was “lost” for most of the 20th century until its rediscovery in 1990. Extant populations are now known in eastern and western Australia, but the species has been extirpated from much of its historical range.

Identification of Birds through DNA Barcodes [PDF]

, 2004
Short DNA sequences from a standardized region of the genome provide a DNA barcode for identifying species. Compiling a public library of DNA barcodes linked to named specimens could provide a new master key for identifying species, one whose power will ...

Mitochondrial heteroplasmy in an avian hybrid form (Passer italiae: Aves, Passeriformes) [PDF]

, 2019
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy is the result from biparental transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to the offspring. In such rare cases, maternal and paternal mtDNA is present in the same individual.

Ancient origin and maternal inheritance of blue cuckoo eggs [PDF]

, 2016
Maternal inheritance via the female-specific W chromosome was long ago proposed as a potential solution to the evolutionary enigma of co-existing host-specific races (or 'gentes') in avian brood parasites.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]

, 2008
Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using

Phylogenetic analyses to uncover the evolutionary relationship of a newly sequenced mitochondrial genome from an Eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris), a passerine bird in the family Meliphagidae (honeyeaters), a dominant group of birds in Australia and New Guinea. The aim of this study was to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of the Eastern

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...
