Constraint and innovation in color evolution among species and among plumage patches in five avian radiations

C. Eliason, R. S. Marcondes, M. D. Eaton, R. Maia, K. J. Burns, A. J. Shultz

The paper analyzes color evolution across five bird clades, finding that new color mechanisms enable new color space occupancy but not increased diversity, and that interpatch variation diverges from interspecies trends in males.

Microstructures amplify carotenoid plumage signals in colorful tanagers

D. E. McCoy, A. J. Shultz, C. Vidoudez, E. van der Heide, S. A. Trauger, D. Haig

The paper quantifies carotenoid signals in tanagers, showing males have microstructures that amplify color appearance, challenging the idea that carotenoids alone explain plumage honesty.

Immune genes are hotspots of shared positive selection across birds and mammals

A. J. Shultz, T. B. Sackton

The paper identifies immune genes as hotspots of shared positive selection across birds and mammals, showing enrichment for viral immune pathways and pathogen-response genes.
