Introgression underlies phylogenetic uncertainty but not parallel plumage evolution in a recent songbird radiation

The paper investigates phylogenetic uncertainty and parallel plumage evolution in wagtails using whole genome data, finding introgression causes gene tree discordance but not parallel plumage evolution.

Does capacity to elevate androgens underlie variation in female ornamentation and territoriality in White-shouldered Fairywren (Malurus alboscapulatus)?

The paper investigates whether the ability to elevate androgens underlies differences in female ornamentation and territoriality between subspecies of White-shouldered Fairywren, finding no such association.

Large effect loci have a prominent role in Darwin's finch evolution

The study identifies six large effect loci explaining 46% of beak size variation in Darwin's finches over 30 years.

Male White-shouldered Fairywrens (Malurus alboscapulatus) elevate testosterone when courting females but not during territorial challenges

The paper tests two versions of the challenge hypothesis in White-shouldered Fairywrens, finding testosterone elevation during courtship but not territorial challenges.

Darwin's finches - an adaptive radiation constructed from ancestral genetic modules

The paper investigates the genomic basis of phenotypic diversity in Darwin's finches, identifying ancestral haplotype blocks that contribute to beak and body size variation.

Transspecies beak color polymorphism in the Darwin's finch radiation

The paper investigates a beak color polymorphism in Darwin's finches, showing it originated from a regulatory mutation in BCO2 and is maintained by ecological selection and introgression.

Testosterone induces a female ornament followed by enhanced territoriality in a tropical songbird

Testosterone induces partial ornamentation in unornamented female birds, which is followed by increased territorial behavior, suggesting ornamentation drives aggression rather than testosterone alone.
