New view on the organization and evolution of Palaeognathae mitogenomes poses the question on the ancestral gene rearrangement in Aves
Background Bird mitogenomes differ from other vertebrates in gene rearrangement. The
most common avian gene order, identified first in Gallus gallus, is considered ancestral for …

Phylogeny and sex chromosome evolution of Palaeognathae
Many paleognaths (ratites and tinamous) have a pair of homomorphic ZW sex chromosomes
in contrast to the highly differentiated sex chromosomes of most other birds. To understand …

Time to abandon the loss of dispersal ability hypothesis in island plants: A comment on García‐Verdugo, Mairal, Monroy, Sajeva and Caujapé‐Castells (2017)
KC Burns - Journal of Biogeography, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
García‐Verdugo et al.(2017) recently tested the loss of dispersal ability hypothesis in a wind‐

Recent advances in avian palaeobiology in New Zealand with implications for understanding New Zealand's geological, climatic and evolutionary histories
New Zealand, long recognised as a land where birds dominate the terrestrial vertebrate
biota, lacked an informative fossil record for the non-marine pre-Pleistocene avifauna until …

The selfish preen: absence of allopreening in Palaeognathae and its socio-cognitive implications
Preening behaviours are widespread in extant birds. While most birds appear to autopreen
(self-directed preening), allopreening (preening directed at conspecifics) seems to have …
