Natural history collections are invaluable repositories of biological information that provide
an unrivaled record of Earth's biodiversity. Museum genomics—genomics research using …

Species delimitation requires a broad assessment of population-level variation using
multiple lines of evidence, a process known as integrative taxonomy. More specifically …

Species radiations have long served as model systems in evolutionary biology. 1, 2
However, it has only recently become possible to study the genetic bases of the traits …

It is thought that two species can coexist if they use different resources present in the
environment, yet this assumes that species are completely reproductively isolated. We …

Simple Summary Range expansions of invasive species continue to increase due to the
direct or indirect influences of humans on global habitats. Understanding how these …

Understanding the factors that shape microbiomes can provide insight into the importance of
host–symbiont interactions and on co‐evolutionary dynamics. Unlike for mammals, previous …

Hybridization—the interbreeding of different species—plays an integral role in the evolution
of numerous bird species. However, it remains unclear how widespread this phenomenon is …

Birds are known for their brilliant colors and extraordinary patterns. Sightings of individuals
with atypical plumage often cause considerable excitement in the birding public, but receive …

Anthropogenic climate change will dramatically alter species distributions. The rate and
magnitude of range shifts, however, will differ among taxa, resulting in altered patterns of co …

Using low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing, analysis of vocalizations, and inferences
from natural history, we document a first‐generation hybrid between a rose‐breasted …
