Post-glacial expansion dynamics, not refugial isolation, shaped the genetic structure of a migratory bird, the yellow warbler

The paper uses climate-informed spatial genetic modeling to show that post-glacial expansion dynamics, not refugial isolation, shaped the genetic structure of the yellow warbler.

mtDNA-based reconstructions of change in effective population sizes of Holarctic birds do not agree with their reconstructed range sizes based on paleoclimates

The paper uses mitochondrial DNA and bioclimatic models to compare changes in effective population size and range size in Holarctic birds, finding no correlation between the two.

Seed size and its rate of evolution correlate with species diversification across angiosperms

The paper shows that smaller-seeded plants have higher diversification rates and that seed size change rates correlate with speciation rates across angiosperms.
