multiple lineages of avian malaria parasites (plasmodium) in the galapagos islands and evidence for arrival via migratory birds.	haemosporidian parasites in the genus plasmodium were recently detected through molecular screening in the galapagos penguin (spheniscus mendiculus). we summarized results of an archipelago-wide screen of 3726 endemic birds representing 22 species for plasmodium spp. through a combination of molecular and microscopy techniques. three additional plasmodium lineages were present in galapagos. lineage a-infected penguins, yellow warblers (setophaga petechia aureola), and one medium ground finch (ge ...	2013	24033638
origin and population history of a recent colonizer, the yellow warbler in galápagos and cocos islands.	the faunas associated with oceanic islands provide exceptional examples with which to examine the dispersal abilities of different taxa and test the relative contribution of selective and neutral processes in evolution. we examine the patterns of recent differentiation and the relative roles of gene flow and selection in genetic and morphological variation in the yellow warbler (dendroica petechia aureola) from the galápagos and cocos islands. our analyses suggest aureola diverged from central a ...	2012	22239606
