ABSTRACT Tropical islands are renowned as natural laboratories for evolutionary study. Lineage radiations across tropical archipelagos ideal systems investigating how colonization, speciation, and extinction processes shape biodiversity patterns. The expansion of the island thrush Indo-Pacific represents one largest yet most perplexing any songbird species. exhibits a complex mosaic pronounced plumage variation its range, is arguably world’s polytypic bird. It sedentary species largely restricted to mountain forests, it has colonized vast region spanning quarter globe. We conducted comprehensive sampling populations obtained genome-wide SNP data, which we used reconstruct phylogeny, population structure, gene flow, demographic history. evolved from migratory Palearctic ancestors radiated explosively during Pleistocene, with numerous instances flow between populations. Its bewildering masks biogeographically intuitive stepping stone colonization path Philippines through Greater Sundas, Wallacea New Guinea Polynesia. thrush’s success in colonizing mountains can be understood light ancestral mobility adaptation cool climates; however, shifts elevational degree apparent dispersal rates eastern part range raise further intriguing questions about biology.

Abstract Morphology has been a leading taxonomic guiding light to systematists for the last couple of hundred years. However, genetic and – more recently genomic revolution have produced numerous demonstrations erroneous classifications that were based on labile morphological traits. We used thousands genome‐wide markers shed evolutionary dynamics in confusing taxonomically obscure group Asian Cyornis flycatchers. Using data, we corroborated recent findings three mitochrondrial five nuclear genes two taxa hainanus klossi which previously treated as separate species ( rubeculoides , respectively) are genomically homogeneous form single species, C. . also uncovered novel case interbreeding between non‐sister glaucicomans illustrating these flycatchers' ability hybridise marginal situations even after substantial times divergence. Our study illustrates how loci can complicated problems, resulting better integration phenotypic genotypic data.

We describe a new species of Zosterops white‐eye, which is restricted to Wangi‐wangi, single island roughly 155 km 2 in the Wakatobi Archipelago, Indonesia. Informally known as Wangi‐wangi White‐eye, highly distinct both morphologically and genetically. It considerably larger body bill size compared with other regional species. The White‐eye remains locally common but its habitat dwindling. Given minute area occupancy threat from bird trade, we recommend IUCN status Endangered.

Abstract Islands are natural laboratories for studying patterns and processes of evolution. Research on island endemic birds has revealed elevated speciation rates rapid phenotypic evolution in several groups (e.g. white-eyes, Darwin’s finches). However, understanding the evolutionary behind these requires an how genotypes map to novel phenotypes. To date, there few high-quality reference genomes species found islands. Here, we sequence genome one Ernst Mayr’s “great speciators,” collared kingfisher (Todiramphus chloris collaris). Utilizing high molecular weight DNA linked-read sequencing technology, assembled a draft with highly contiguous scaffolds (scaffold N50 = 19 Mb). Based universal single-copy orthologs, estimated gene space completeness 96.6% assembly. The population demographic history analyses reveal distinct pattern contraction expansion size throughout Pleistocene. Comparative genomic analysis family that species-specific rapidly expanding families (relative other Coraciiformes) mainly involved ErbB signaling pathway focal adhesion. Todiramphus kingfishers species-rich group become focus research. This will be platform future taxonomic, phylogeographic, research group. For example, target genes enable testing changes sensory structures associated vision taste across kingfishers.

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

This driven desire for songbirds as pets, singing competitions prayer animal release led overexploitation numerous introduction spread invasive alien diseases novel environments. ability identify traded efficiently accurately is crucial monitoring bird markets, protecting threatened enforcing wildlife laws. Citizen scientists can make major contributions these conservation efforts but may be constrained difficulties distinguishing ‘look‐alike’ markets.

A secondary contact zone (SCZ) is an area where incipient species or divergent populations may meet, mate, and hybridize. Due to the diverse patterns of interspecific hybridization, SCZs function as field labs for illuminating on-going evolutionary processes speciation establishment reproductive isolation. Interspecific hybridization widely present in avian populations, making them ideal system SCZ studies. This review exhaustively summarizes variations unique traits within (vocalization, plumage, beak, migratory traits) various movement observed previous publications. It also highlights several potential future research directions genomic era, such relationship between phenotypic differentiation SCZs, basis trait differentiation, shared by multiple species, accurate predictive models forecasting movements under climate change human disturbances. aims provide a more comprehensive understanding offers theoretical foundation conservation.
