Islands promote diversification within the silvereye clade: a phylogenomic analysis of a great speciator

This study uses phylogenomic analysis to show that islands promote population divergence in silvereye birds, supporting the role of geographic isolation in speciation.

The demographic drivers of cultural evolution in bird song: a multilevel study

This study investigates how demographic factors influence cultural evolution in bird song using a multi-generational dataset of Great Tits.

A densely sampled and richly annotated acoustic dataset from a wild bird population

The paper presents a large acoustic dataset of wild Great Tits and discusses its potential applications in studying bird vocal behavior.

Standing genetic variation and de novo mutations underlie parallel evolution of island bird phenotypes

The paper investigates the genetic basis of parallel evolution in island silvereye birds, finding both de novo mutations and standing genetic variation contribute to body size changes.

Candidate gene length polymorphisms are linked to dispersive behaviour: searching for a mechanism behind the "paradox of the great speciators"

The study investigates genetic associations between dispersal behavior and six candidate genes in silvereye populations, finding links between allele length variations and dispersal propensity.

Substitution Rate Variation in a Robust Procellariiform Seabird Phylogeny is not Solely Explained by Body Mass, Flight Efficiency, Population Size or Life History Traits

This study examines substitution rate variation in procellariiform seabirds and finds that it is not solely explained by body mass, population size, or life history traits, but is moderately correlated with flight efficiency.
