Hybridization is not always limited to two species; often multiple species are interbreeding.
In birds, there are numerous examples of species that hybridize with multiple other species …

A plethora of studies have offered crucial insights in the phylogeographic status of Western
Palearctic bird species. However, an overview integrating all this information and analyzing …

Island ecosystems have emerged as vital model systems for evolutionary and speciation
studies due to their unique environmental conditions and biodiversity. This study …

In biparental Charadriinae plovers, male and female incubation duties often resemble daily
routines, with males typically incubating at night and females incubating during the day. By …

Intracontinental biotic divisions across the vast Palaearctic region are not well-characterized.
Past research has revealed patterns ranging from a lack of population structure to deep …

Background Populations living in fragmented habitats may suffer from loss of genetic
variation and reduced between-patch dispersal, which are processes that can result in …

Aim Spatio‐temporal changes have likely caused range fragmentation and population
isolation, which could have given rise to the observed current intraspecific differentiation in …

We estimated the influence of human disturbance and environmental factors on territory
establishment in common ringed plovers Charadrius hiaticula and Eurasian oystercatchers …

Introgressive hybridization is a widespread phenomenon in the evolution of plants and
animals. The conclusion of interspecific gene flow is often made in the detection of …

Molecular genetic studies shed light on the processes and constraints that led to present
species distributions. DNA sequences have become instrumental in constructing a modern …
