The paper shows that greater intraspecific morphological variation in bulbuls predicts broader ecological niches and larger geographic ranges.

The paper quantifies introgression in tinamou species, showing asymmetric patterns linked to chromosomal features and resolving their species tree through genome-architecture-aware phylogenomics.

The paper shows that spatially heterogeneous gene flow can lead to incorrect macroevolutionary inferences by causing monophyly of adjacent populations and longer branches for peripheral taxa in simulations.

The paper uses whole-genome data from tinamous to reconstruct their phylogeny, estimate divergence times, and assess the impact of incomplete lineage sorting and introgression on genome evolution.
