Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Examining population genetic structure can reveal patterns of reproductive isolation or
population mixing and inform conservation management. Some avian species are predicted …

In North America, the population genetic structure of many raptor species has been shaped
by patterns of post‐glacial population expansion and anthropogenic forces, such as the …

Island archipelagos provide natural laboratories to investigate how geographical and
ecological differences impact the process of speciation. I investigated the evolutionary …

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 …

The increased capacity of DNA sequencing has significantly advanced our understanding of
the phylogeny of birds and the proximate and ultimate mechanisms molding their genomic …

Aim The ecological and biogeographical factors that influence population differentiation in
seabirds are likely to be too complex and nuanced to be captured by many commonly held …

Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of a population through subsequent
generations. The interplay of several evolutionary mechanisms determines the rate at which …

Hybridization and resulting introgression can play both a destructive and a creative role in
the evolution of diversity. Thus, characterizing when and where introgression is most likely to …

Documentation of spatial genetic discordance among breeding populations of Arctic-nesting
avian species is important, because anthropogenic change is altering environmental …
