Origin of elevational replacements in a clade of nearly flightless birds - most diversity in tropical mountains accumulates via secondary contact following allopatric speciation

D. Cadena, L. N. Cespedes

The paper investigates the origin of elevational species replacements in Scytalopus birds, finding that most arise from secondary contact after allopatric speciation rather than in situ divergence.

Systematics, biogeography and diversification of Scytalopus tapaculos (Rhinocryptidae), an enigmatic radiation of Neotropical montane birds

D. Cadena, A. Cuervo, L. N. Cespedes, G. A. Bravo, N. Krabbe, T. S. Schulenberg, G. E. Derryberry, L. F. Silveira, E. P. Derryberry, R. T. Brumfield, J. Fjeldsa

This study investigates the phylogeny, biogeography, and diversification of Scytalopus tapaculos, finding rapid non-adaptive speciation linked to limited dispersal and landscape barriers.

Extreme genetic structure and dynamic range evolution in a montane passerine bird: implications for tropical diversification

D. Cadena, J. L. Perez-Eman, A. M. Cuervo, L. N. Cespedes, K. L. Epperly, J. T. Klicka

The paper uses mtDNA sequence data from a bird species complex to analyze genetic structure and divergence patterns, revealing high lineage diversity and implications for tropical speciation.

An extinct hummingbird species that never was: a cautionary tale about sampling issues in molecular phylogenetics

J. L. Perez-Eman, J. Perdigon Ferreira, N. Gutierrez-Pinto, A. M. Cuervo, L. N. Cespedes, C. C. Witt, C. D. Cadena

The paper reanalyzes mitochondrial DNA data to challenge the status of Heliangelus zusii as a distinct species, suggesting it may result from hybridization with Aglaiocercus kingii.
