The rapid radiation of Bomarea (Alstroemeriaceae: Liliales), driven by the rise of the Andes

C. M. Tribble, F. Alzate-Guarin, E. Gandara, A. Vartoumian, J. G. Burleigh, R. Zenil-Ferguson, C. D. Specht, C. J. Rothfels

This study investigates the diversification of Bomarea species in relation to Andean uplift, finding that speciation events correlate with mountain formation and climate changes during the Pleistocene.

Linking ecological specialization to its macroevolutionary consequences:An example with passerine nest type

R. Zenil-Ferguson, J. P. McEntee, J. G. Burleigh, R. A. Duckworth

The paper tests if hole-nesting in birds leads to reduced diversification rates, finding no such association and more frequent transitions out of hole-nesting.

Benefits and Limits of Phasing Alleles for Network Inference of Allopolyploid Complexes

G. P. Tiley, A. A. Crowl, P. S. Manos, E. B. Sessa, C. Solis-Lemus, A. D. Yoder, J. G. Burleigh

This paper shows that phasing alleles from allopolyploids improves phylogenetic network inference but faces challenges due to statistical non-identifiability.

Inferring punctuated evolution in the learned songs of African sunbirds

J. P. McEntee, G. Zhelezov, C. Werema, N. Najar, J. V. Penalba, E. Mulungu, M. Mbilinyi, S. Karimi, L. Chumakova, J. G. Burleigh, R. C. K. Bowie

The paper shows that learned songs in African sunbirds evolve in punctuated bursts with long periods of stasis, suggesting strong selection constraints on song evolution.

Dispersal predicts hybrid zone widths across animal diversity: Implications for species borders under incomplete reproductive isolation

J. P. McEntee, J. G. Burleigh, S. Singhal

The paper examines how dispersal and mtDNA distance explain variation in hybrid zone widths across 135 animal taxon pairs, finding dispersal explains >30% of variation.

Tempo and timing of ecological trait divergence in bird speciation

J. P. McEntee, J. A. Tobias, C. Sheard, J. G. Burleigh

The paper examines the tempo and timing of ecological trait divergence in bird speciation, finding that trait divergence occurs in pulses followed by stasis and often precedes sympatry.
