variation in the structure of bird nests between northern manitoba and southeastern ontario.	traits that converge in appearance under similar environmental conditions among phylogenetically independent lineages are thought to represent adaptations to local environments. we tested for convergence in nest morphology and composition of birds breeding in two ecologically different locations in canada: churchill in northern manitoba and elgin in southeastern ontario. we examined nests from four families of passerine birds (turdidae: turdus, parulidae: dendroica, emberizidae: passerculus and ...	2011	21552515
phylogeography and genetic structure of northern populations of the yellow warbler (dendroica petechia).	phylogeographic patterns of intraspecific variation can provide insights into the population-level processes responsible for speciation and yield information useful for conservation purposes. to examine phylogeography and population structure in a migratory passerine bird at both continental and regional geographical scales, we analysed 344 bp of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region sequence from 155 yellow warblers (dendroica petechia) collected from seven locations across canada and from a ...	2000	10849283
