on the importance of geographic and taxonomic sampling in phylogeography: a reevaluation of diversification and species limits in a neotropical thrush (aves, turdidae). | phylogeographic studies seeking to describe biogeographic patterns, infer evolutionary processes, and revise species-level classification should properly characterize the distribution ranges of study species, and thoroughly sample genetic variation across taxa and geography. this is particularly necessary for widely distributed organisms occurring in complex landscapes, such as the neotropical region. here, we clarify the geographic range and revisit the phylogeography of the black-billed thrush ... | 2017 | 28347888 |
phylogeography, inter-specific limits and diversification of turdus ignobilis (aves: turdidae). | turdus ignobilis is a widely distributed thrush species throughout northern south america and the amazon, inhabiting a diverse set of habitats ranging from floodplain forests, white sand "campinas", to highland forests (andes and tepuis). there are currently six known subspecies of t. ignobilis, which vary extensively phenotypically and also ecologically, but whose interspecific limits and evolutionary history have never been investigated before. in this study, we used molecular data and plumage ... | 2016 | 26797171 |
