Comprehensive molecular phylogeny of barn owls and relatives (Family: Tytonidae), and their six major Pleistocene radiations
The owl family Tytonidae comprises two genera: Phodilus, limited to the forests of central
Africa and South-East Asia, and the ubiquitous Tyto. The genus Tyto is majorly represented …

Phylogeography of a 'great speciator' (Aves: Edolisoma tenuirostre) reveals complex dispersal and diversification dynamics across the Indo‐Pacific
Aim We derive a new phylogenetic framework of the Indo‐Pacific avian genus Edolisoma
based on a dense taxon sampling and use it in an explicit spatiotemporal framework to …

Expansion in geographical and morphological space drives continued lineage diversification in a global passerine radiation
Why diversification rates vary so extensively across the tree of life remains an important yet
unresolved issue in biology. Two prominent and potentially independent factors proposed to …

Diverge and Conquer: Phylogenomics of southern Wallacean forest skinks (Genus: Sphenomorphus) and their colonization of the Lesser Sunda Archipelago
The archipelagos of Wallacea extend between the Sunda and Sahul Shelves, serving as a
