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.

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.

Drift barriers to quality control when genes are expressed at different levels

K. Xiong, J. P. McEntee, D. Porfirio, J. Masel

The paper shows that population size affects the evolution of gene expression error control strategies, with smaller populations favoring global error reduction and larger populations allowing for more localized error tolerance.
