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

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

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 ...

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.

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...

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.

This is an extremely poorly informed comment. You have no
idea how Turkey treats foreign students. I assure you it is way worse than the United States does.
