Patterns of coevolution in the adaptive radiation of crossbills

CW Benkman, TL Parchman… - Annals of the New York …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Although evidence for coevolution and geographic variation in its apparent strength is
increasing, we still have a relatively poor understanding of why coevolution varies among …

Genome divergence and diversification within a geographic mosaic of coevolution

TL Parchman, CA Buerkle, V Soria‐Carrasco… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Despite substantial interest in coevolution's role in diversification, examples of coevolution
contributing to speciation have been elusive. Here, we build upon past studies that have …

Physiological trade-offs in self-maintenance: plumage molt and stress physiology in birds

JM Cornelius, N Perfito, R Zann… - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.biologists.com
Trade-offs between self-maintenance processes can affect life-history evolution. Integument
replacement and the stress response both promote self-maintenance and affect survival in …

Matching habitat choice in nomadic crossbills appears most pronounced when food is most limiting

CW Benkman - Evolution, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Of the various forms of nonrandom dispersal, matching habitat choice, whereby individuals
preferentially reside in habitats where they are best adapted, has relatively little empirical …

Seasonal pre‐migratory fattening and increased activity in a nomadic and irruptive migrant, the Red Crossbill Loxia curvirostra

JM Cornelius, TP Hahn - Ibis, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
It is well documented that irruptive and nomadic migrants move in response to resources
that are distributed unpredictably in space, time or both. Increasing evidence, however …

Assessing the role of reproduction and stress in the spring emergence of haematozoan parasites in birds

JM Cornelius, M Zylberberg… - Journal of …, 2014 - journals.biologists.com
A spring emergence of avian haemosporidian infections is nearly universal among
temperate zone birds and is often described as a cost of reproductive effort. We take …

Using long-term citizen science data to understand distribution and habitat use of an irruptive species

A Deshwal, P Panwar, JC Neal, MA Young - Ecological Informatics, 2021 - Elsevier
Unpredictable movement patterns of irruptive migrants make them difficult to study through
structured survey methods. We used citizen science data to assess the distribution and …

Resource stability and geographic isolation are associated with genome divergence in western Palearctic crossbills

TL Parchman, P Edelaar, K Uckele… - Journal of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
While many conifers produce annually variable seed crops, serotinous species (which hold
seeds in cones for multiple years) represent unusually stable food resources for seed …

The natural history of the South Hills crossbill in relation to its impending extinction

CW Benkman - The American Naturalist, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Increasingly, the species that we discover will be uncommon, area restricted, and vulnerable
to extinction. I describe the natural history of a newly discovered seed-eating finch from the …

Character displacement of a learned behaviour and its implications for ecological speciation

CK Porter, CW Benkman - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Cultural evolution may accelerate population divergence and speciation, though most
support for this hypothesis is restricted to scenarios of allopatric speciation driven by random …
