The paper examines how bioclimatic variables affect purifying selection on mitochondrial DNA in Piciformes birds, finding a negative correlation between temperature range and substitution rates.

This study reviews and meta-analyzes hybridization in woodpeckers, finding higher rates in the Neotropics and lower in Afrotropic and Oriental regions, with genetic similarities explaining hybridization patterns.

This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the European Green Woodpecker, Picus viridis, using short and long-read sequencing combined with Hi-C scaffolding.

The paper reports genomes and transcriptomes of 20 bird species, including raptors, and identifies molecular signatures related to predatory and nocturnal adaptations.
