Phylogeography of the Red‐Headed Manakin Supports the River‐Refuge Hypothesis Open
Aim The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse regions on earth, but our understanding of the processes that have shaped its patterns of diversity remains incomplete. One hypothesis for Amazonian speciation is the river‐refuge hyp…

Pleiotropic opposing dominance within a color gene block contributes to a nascent species boundary via its influence on hybrid male territorial behavior Open
The divergence of plumage color genes contributes to songbird radiation. However, the mechanisms by which color gene divergence counteracts gene flow to maintain reproductive isolation during the formation of new species boundaries remain …

Demographic decline and lineage-specific adaptations characterize New Zealand kiwi Open
Small and fragmented populations may become rapidly differentiated due to genetic drift, making it difficult to distinguish whether neutral genetic structure is a signature of recent demographic events, or of long-term evolutionary process…

Ongoing production of low-fitness hybrids limits range overlap between divergent cryptic species Open
Contact zones between recently-diverged taxa provide opportunities to examine the causes of reproductive isolation and to examine the processes that determine whether two species can coexist over a broad region. The Pacific Wren ( Troglody…

Postzygotic isolation drives genomic speciation between highly cryptic<i>Hypocnemis</i>antbirds from Amazonia Open
How species evolve reproductive isolation in the species-rich Amazon basin is poorly understood in vertebrates. Here, we sequenced a reference genome and used a genome-wide sample of SNPs to analyze a hybrid zone between two highly cryptic…

Distribution and abundance of epiphytic Bryophytes in Pacific Spirit Park Open
The diversity and abundance of bryophytes on the north, west, east and south sides of four different species of trees (Douglas-fir, Bigleaf Maple, Western Hemlock and Western Redcedar) are investigated. Sunlight and bark composition are co…
