Song complexity in suboscine birds: evolutionary drivers and ecological constraints Open
Acoustic signal complexity varies widely in the animal kingdom for reasons that remain unclear. In birds, it is widely proposed that vocal complexity evolves as an honest signal of individual quality driven by sexual selection. Other hypot…

Migration Evolves in Response to Distinct Regimes of Climate Seasonality in Tropical Versus Temperate‐Breeding Suboscine Birds Open
Avian migration has long captured human interest, but the causes of the evolution of migration remain unclear due to limited study of the full spectrum of migratory strategies, including short‐distance and intratropical movements. We exami…

Efficient Inference of Macrophylogenies: Insights from the Avian Tree of Life Open
The exponential growth of molecular sequence data over the past decade has enabled the construction of numerous clade-specific phylogenies encompassing hundreds or thousands of taxa. These independent studies often include overlapping data…

Diversity – volume relationships: adding structural arrangement and volume to species – area relationships across forest macrosystems Open
The species – area relationship (SAR) is a common pattern in which diversity increases with the area sampled, but ecosystems are three‐dimensional (3D) and diversity – volume relationships (DVRs) may exist in ecosystems that vary substanti…

AVONET: morphological, ecological and geographical data for all birds Open
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models o…

The dynamics of introgression across an avian radiation Open
Hybridization and resulting introgression can play both a destructive and a creative role in the evolution of diversity. Thus, characterizing when and where introgression is most likely to occur can help us understand the causes of diversi…

Genomic Evidence for Rare Hybridization and Large Demographic Changes in the Evolutionary Histories of Four North American Dove Species Open
Introductions and invasions provide opportunities for interaction and hybridization between colonists and closely related native species. We investigate this phenomenon using the mitochondrial DNA COI and 81,416 base-pairs of overlapping n…

Species are being lost at an unprecedented rate during the Anthropocene. Progress has been made in clarifying how species traits influence their propensity to go extinct, but the role historical demography plays in species loss or persiste…

Engaging in duty of care: towards a terrorism preparedness plan Open
A minor digression, if you will: it has been over 30 years since I (referring to lead author) first wrote on the topic of terrorism and its potential impact on conducting business in a global context. The most vivid memory I have relative …

Opening the door to greater phylogeographic inference in Southeast Asia: Comparative genomic study of five codistributed rainforest bird species using target capture and historical DNA Open
Indochina and Sundaland are biologically diverse, interconnected regions of Southeast Asia with complex geographic histories. Few studies have examined phylogeography of bird species that span the two regions because of inadequate populati…

Beyond Reproductive Isolation: Demographic Controls on the Speciation Process Open
Studies of speciation typically investigate the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations, but several other processes can serve as key steps limiting the formation of species. In particular, the probability of successful spe…
