Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used the study of microbial groups likely to harbor many unrecognized species. Among symbionts, integrating genetic species delimitation with trait could indicate reproductive isolation, such as host specificity data, despite its potential inform limits. Here we test ability an integrative combining and delimit within avian...
Abstract The ~1.97 million egg sets (~5 eggs) housed in museums have not been used proportion to their availability. We highlight the wide variety of scientific disciplines that collections and geographic locations sizes these collections, increase awareness importance improve visibility community, suggest they offer a wealth data covering large spatial scales long time series for broad investigations into avian biology. provide brief history an updated list museums/institutions with...
The great auk was once abundant and distributed across the North Atlantic. It is now extinct, having been heavily exploited for its eggs, meat, feathers. We investigated impact of human hunting on demise by integrating genetic data, GPS-based ocean current analyses population viability. sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes 41 individuals from species' geographic range reconstructed structure dynamics throughout Holocene. Taken together, our data do not provide any evidence that auks were...
Abstract The Seychelles magpie‐robin's (SMR) five island populations exhibit some of the lowest recorded levels genetic diversity among endangered birds, and high inbreeding. These collapsed during 20th century, species was listed as Critically Endangered in IUCN Red List 1994. An assisted translocation‐for‐recovery program initiated 1990s increased number mature individuals, resulting its downlisting to 2005. Here, we explore temporal genomic erosion SMR based on a dataset 201 re‐sequenced...
We report new observational and specimen data on the avifauna of Kolombangara, Western Province, Solomon Islands. These data, collected from 3–9 October 1974 13–21 May 2004, supplemented with more recent observations, represent first comprehensive survey this globally significant island since 1927. All encounters montane species are reported along select accounts for notable lower-elevation species. Numerous observations presented here suggest even unique than previously reported. For...
The Arctic is experiencing the fastest rates of global warming, leading to shifts in distribution its biota and increasing potential for hybridization. However, genomic evidence recent hybridization events remains unexpectedly rare. Here, we use whole-genome sequencing contemporary 122-year-old historical specimens investigate origin an hybrid population Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) on Bjørnøya, Norway. We show that between High Arctic, large-bodied subspecies F. a. naumanni...
Global-scale gene flow is an important concern in conservation biology as it has the potential to either increase or decrease genetic diversity species and populations. Although many studies focus on between different populations of a single species, for introgression understudied, particularly seabirds. The only well-studied example mixed-species, hybridizing population petrels exists Round Island, Indian Ocean. Previous research assumed that Island represents point secondary contact...
An expedition of representatives from the Myanmar Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division Smithsonian National Zoological Park's Research Center visited town Naung Mung on Nam Tisang River in extreme northern portion Kachin State, Myanmar, during February 2004. The is located sub-Himalayan region country at 27°29′N, 97°48′E, elevation 540 m, 118 km south Tibetan border 53 west with Yunnan Province, China. purpose trip was to inventory poorly known avifauna premontane temperate rainforest...
A checklist of the trees, shrubs and Hanes Catapú, Cheringoma District, Mozambique, is presented. Floristically study area falls within Swahilian/Maputaland Regional Transition Zone. In total, 238 woody species infraspecific taxa have been recorded, representing 59 families 167 genera. Most (64%) occur both to north south area. 26% their core distribution in Swahilian Centre Endemism, 4% a more southerly distribution. 14 are endemic Zone two near-endemic, extending into Zambezian Endemism...
