Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are revolutionizing many biological
disciplines but have been slow to take root in phylogeography. This is partly due to the …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provide great resources to study bird
evolution and avian functional genomics. They also allow for the identification of suitable …

Birds are a group with immense availability of genomic resources, and hundreds of
forthcoming genomes at the doorstep. We review recent developments in whole genome …

The widespread application of high-throughput sequencing in studying evolutionary
processes and patterns of diversification has led to many important discoveries. However …

Background Determining the evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of extant
birds has been one of the biggest challenges in systematic biology. To address this …

Passeriformes are the largest order of birds and one of the most widely studied groups in
evolutionary biology and ecology. Until recently genomic tools in passerines relied on …

Evolutionary relationships among birds in Neoaves, the clade comprising the vast majority of
avian diversity, have vexed systematists due to the ancient, rapid radiation of numerous …

Next‐generation sequencing technology provides an attractive means to obtain large‐scale
sequence data necessary for comparative genomic analysis. To analyse the patterns of …

In the 14 years since the first higher-level bird phylogenies based on DNA sequence data,
avian phylogenetics has witnessed the advent and maturation of the genomics era, the …

The demographic and phylogeographic histories of species provide insight into the
processes responsible for generating biological diversity, and genomic datasets are now …
