What Is an Eared Nightjar? Ultraconserved Elements Clarify the Evolutionary Relationships of Eurostopodus and Lyncornis Nightjars (Aves: Caprimulgidae) Open
Nightjars (Aves: Caprimulgidae) are a species-rich family of birds, with the “eared nightjars” (Eurostopodinae) being an early-branching group endemic to the Indo-Pacific. While much research has focused on species-rich nightjar genera and…

Phylogeography of the Island Leaf Warbler (Aves: Phylloscopus Poliocephalus) in Northern Melanesia Reveals Rapid Secondary Sympatry or Ecological Speciation on Kolombangara Island, Solomon Islands Open
Island archipelagos are well known for promoting geographic and adaptive radiations in terrestrial animals. Sympatry of closely related species in island systems has been thought to occur primarily through double-invasions from the same co…

Genomic patterns in the dwarf kingfishers of northern Melanesia reveal a mechanistic framework explaining the paradox of the great speciators Open
The paradox of the great speciators describes a contradictory biogeographic pattern exhibited by numerous avian lineages in Oceania. Specifically, these lineages display broad geographic distributions across the region, implying strong ove…

An Indigenous perspective on the conservation of an insular endemic: the prehensile-tailed skink <i>Corucia zebrata</i> on the Solomon Islands Open
The prehensile-tailed skink Corucia zebrata is endemic to the Solomon Islands. It is the most traded reptile from the country. During 2000–2019, CITES reported the legal export of 10,567 individuals. Although the level of this trade is wel…

Biocultural approaches to developing well-being indicators in Solomon Islands Open
To meet local and global aspirations toward sustainable resource management, we must first understand what success looks like. At global levels, well-being can be narrowly defined, which may clash with local values and cause adverse impact…
