Abstract We present a complete, time-scaled, evolutionary tree of the world’s bird species. This unites phylogenetic estimates for 9,239 species from 262 studies published between 1990 and 2024, using Open Tree synthesis algorithm. The remaining are placed in based on curated taxonomic information. tips this complete aligned to Clements Taxonomy used by eBird other resources, cross-mapped systems including Life (Open Tree), National Center Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Global Biodiversity Facility (GBIF). total number named varies 10,824 11,017 across taxonomy versions we applied (v2021, v2022 v2023). share trees each version. procedure, software data-stores generate public reproducible. presented here is Aves v1.2 can be easily updated with new information as published. demonstrate types large scale analyses data resource enables linking geographic phylogeny calculate regional diversity birds world. will release translation tables annually. procedure describe developing any group interest. Significance statement Birds charismatic - well loved, highly studied. Many phylogenies elucidating avian relationships every year. have united hundreds create all birds.

Sequence data assembly is a foundational step in high-throughput sequencing, with untold consequences for downstream analyses. Despite this, few studies have interrogated the many methods assembling phylogenomic UCE their comparative efficacy, or how outputs may be impacted. We study this by comparing most commonly used UCEs under-studied bee lineage Nomiinae and representative sampling of relatives. Data 63 UCE-only 75 mixed taxa were assembled five methods, including ABySS, HybPiper, SPAdes, Trinity Velvet, then benchmarked relative performance terms locus capture parameters phylogenetic reconstruction. Unexpectedly, Velvet trailed other DNA matrix density, whereas SPAdes performed favourably assessed metrics. In comparison guided-assembly approach HybPiper generally recovered highest quality loci but lower numbers. Based on our results, we formally move Clavinomia to Dieunomiini render Epinomia once more subgenus Dieunomia. strongly advise that future closely examine influence or, minimally, use better-performing such as HybPiper. way, can forward standardized, comparable manner.

Islands have long represented natural laboratories for studying many aspects of ecology and evolutionary biology, from speciation to community assembly. One aspect that has been well documented is the correlation between island size taxonomic diversity, likely due decreased complexity population on small islands. This same logic can apply genetic which should predictably decrease with effective size. The size-diversity received support over years but often focuses single metrics diversity. Here, we use Zosterops white-eyes in Solomon study various related including runs homozygosity fixation transposable elements. We find almost all these strongly correlate size, turn each other. infer independently correlated different variables, demonstrating impacts genomic diversity a variety ways across temporal hierarchical scales.

White‐eyes are an iconic avian radiation of small passerines that mainly distributed across the eastern hemisphere tropics and subtropics. Species diversity white‐eyes is particularly high on oceanic islands, many species restricted to single islands or island groups. The rate diversification ranks them among fastest radiations known in birds, but whether their accelerated was result repeatedly colonizing remains unexplored. We used a newly estimated timetree for nearly all zosteropids phylogenetic comparative methods estimate compare rates between continental lineages. show have similar extinction rates, yet higher speciation compared with white‐eyes. In addition, we find transitions from continents. Our results importance such as Wallacean Melanesian archipelagos Indo‐Pacific, facilitating within this remarkable clade.

Geographic isolation plays a pivotal role in speciation by restricting gene flow between populations through distance or physical barriers. However, the process is complex, influenced interplay dispersal ability and geographic isolation, especially “great speciators” – bird species present on multiple islands that, at same time, have many subspecies. Comparing population differentiation both continental insular settings can help us to understand importance of geographical context emergence great speciators. The highly diverse white-eye family Zosteropidae includes several speciators, including silvereye ( Zosterops lateralis ) which consists 16 subspecies, 11 occurring islands. distribution Australian continent numerous southwest Pacific allows explore influence different forms divergence. To do this, we conducted comprehensive phylogenomic analysis compared patterns divergence versus populations. We estimate that lineage emerged approximately 1.5 million years ago, followed split two main clades: Southern Melanesia broader South (encompassing Australia, New Zealand, outlying islands). Continental show low genetic structure, suggests they overcome barriers across long distances. In contrast, most island are structured even over relatively short Divergence statistics further support idea water lead higher when Our results indicate promote provide an empirical example conditions result
