Amazing study by @reto-burri.bsky.social and colleagues. Happy we could contribute towards it.
Reto Burri@reto-burri.bsky.social · 10mo ago1/9 New in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado8005 How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.
The day after I make that post with an extremely tight deadline, the deadline is extended to 30th May 2025. Please repost! 🙏

And a study led by @loisrancilhac.bsky.social on how introgression shapes the genomic landscape of phylogenetic variation, published in Systematic Biology @systbiol.bsky.social academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...
Introgression across narrow contact zones shapes the genomic landscape of phylogenetic variation in an African bird clade
Abstract. Genomic analyses of hybrid zones provide excellent opportunities to investigate the consequences of introgression in nature. In combination with

A paper led by Sifiso Lukhele on continent-wide patterns of carotenoid colour (reds and yellows) variation in tinkerbird feathers, published in Journal of Animal Ecology. doi.org/10.1111/1365...
Climate underpins continent‐wide patterns of carotenoid‐based feather colour consistent with Gloger's observations
Temperature and rainfall were posited by Gloger and Görnitz to explain a pattern they observed of greater carotenoid colour intensity towards the tropics. We test this hypothesis in a continent-wide ...

Pleased to announce three publications from our lab. One led by Bridget Ogolowa on continent-wide diversification mechanisms in yellow-rumped tinkerbird published in Molecular Ecology. doi.org/10.1111/mec....
Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Fluctuations and Divergence With Gene Flow Drive Continent‐Wide Diversification in an African Bird
Diversification mechanisms in Sub-Saharan Africa have long attracted research interest, with varying support for either allopatric or parapatric models of speciation. However, studies have seldom bee...
