Black‐capped vireos (Vireo atricapilla), an endangered, migratory species dependent upon
early successional habitat, have experienced significant recovery since its protection. In light …

Anthropogenic alterations in the natural environment can be a potent evolutionary force. For
species that have specific habitat requirements, habitat loss can result in substantial genetic …

Like many other migratory birds, the black‐throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens)
shows pronounced differences in migratory behaviour and other traits between populations …

Hypervariable segments of the control region of mtDNA as well as part of the cytochrome b
gene of Dunlins were amplified with PCR and sequenced directly. The 910 base pairs (bp) …

Elucidating forces capable of driving species diversification in the face of gene flow remains
a key goal in evolutionary biology. Song sparrows, Melospiza melodia, occur as 25 …

Evolutionary processes can complicate conservation efforts for species with uncertain
taxonomic classifications and discrete geographic populations. Discordant morphological …

The seasonal migration of birds is a fascinating natural wonder. Avian migratory behaviour
changes are common and are probably a polygenic process as avian migration is governed …

We examined the effects of habitat fragmentation of the white‐starred robin Pogonocichla
stellata metapopulation in the Taita Hills archipelago, a hotspot for biodiversity which was …

Landscape genetic approaches offer the promise of increasing our understanding of the
influence of habitat features on genetic structure. We assessed the genetic diversity of the …

Migratory species that alternate between sympatry and allopatry over the course of an
annual cycle are promising subjects for studies seeking to understand the process of …
