The dynamics of incomplete lineage sorting across the ancient adaptive radiation of neoavian birds
The diversification of neoavian birds is one of the most rapid adaptive radiations of extant
organisms. Recent whole-genome sequence analyses have much improved the resolution …

The phylogenomic forest of bird trees contains a hard polytomy at the root of Neoaves
A Suh - Zoologica Scripta, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Birds have arguably been the most intensely studied animal group for their phylogenetic
relationships. However, the recent advent of genome‐scale phylogenomics has made the …

Whole-genome analyses resolve the phylogeny of flightless birds (Palaeognathae) in the presence of an empirical anomaly zone
Palaeognathae represent one of the two basal lineages in modern birds, and comprise the
volant (flighted) tinamous and the flightless ratites. Resolving palaeognath phylogenetic …

A phylogeny of birds based on over 1,500 loci collected by target enrichment and high-throughput sequencing
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 …

Density-dependent cladogenesis in birds
AB Phillimore, TD Price - PLoS biology, 2008 - journals.plos.org
A characteristic signature of adaptive radiation is a slowing of the rate of speciation toward
the present. On the basis of molecular phylogenies, studies of single clades have frequently …

Diversification of Neoaves: integration of molecular sequence data and fossils
Patterns of diversification and timing of evolution within Neoaves, which includes almost
95% of all bird species, are virtually unknown. On the other hand, molecular data …
