Niche-tracking migrants and niche-switching residents: evolution of climatic niches in New World warblers (Parulidae)
Differences in life-history traits between tropical and temperate lineages are often attributed
to differences in their climatic niche dynamics. For example, the more frequent appearance …

The tempo of trait divergence in geographic isolation: Avian speciation across the Marañon Valley of Peru
Geographic isolation is considered essential to most speciation events, but our
understanding of what controls the pace and degree of phenotypic divergence among …

Positive association between population genetic differentiation and speciation rates in New World birds
An implicit assumption of speciation biology is that population differentiation is an important
stage of evolutionary diversification, but its significance as a rate-limiting control on …

Community modeling reveals the importance of elevation and land cover in sha** migratory bird abundance in the Andes
The tropical Andes are characterized by extreme topographic and climatic complexity, which
has likely contributed to their outstanding current species diversity, composed of many range …

DNA sequencing reveals unexpected Recent diversity and an ancient dichotomy in the American marsupial genus Marmosops (Didelphidae: Thylamyini)
To assess species-level diversity in the didelphid marsupial genus Marmosops, we obtained
sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene from> 200 specimens …
