Island songbirds as windows into evolution in small populations
Due to their limited ranges and inherent isolation, island species have long been recognized
as crucial systems for tackling a range of evolutionary questions, including in the early study …

Islands contribute disproportionately high amounts of evolutionary diversity in passerine birds
KA Jønsson, BG Holt - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Island systems generally have fewer species than continental areas due to their small size
and geographical isolation. Low island diversity reduces the possibility of exportation of …

An Island‐hopping bird reveals how founder events shape genome‐wide divergence
When populations colonize new areas, both strong selection and strong drift can be
experienced due to novel environments and small founding populations, respectively …
