Comparative population genomics reveals convergent adaptation across independent origins of avian obligate brood parasitism

Ekaterina Osipova, Christopher N. Balakrishnan, Claire N. Spottiswoode, Jess Lund, Jeffrey M. DaCosta, Márk E. Hauber, Wesley C. Warren, Michael D. Sorenson, Timothy B. Sackton

The paper identifies convergent genomic adaptations in brood parasitic birds, including genes related to spermatogenesis and nervous system development, across independent origins of parasitism.
