River network rearrangements promote speciation in lowland Amazonian birds

L. J. Musher, M. Giakoumis, J. Albert, G. Del Rio, M. Rego, G. Thom, A. Aleixo, C. C. Ribas, R. T. Brumfield, B. T. Smith, J. Cracraft

This study shows river network rearrangements in the Amazon promote speciation in birds by creating barriers and facilitating hybrid speciation.

Population dynamics of Amazonian floodplain forest species support spatial variation on genetic diversity but not range expansions through time

G. Thom, C. C. Ribas, E. Shultz, A. Aleixo, C. Y. Miyaki

The paper examines genetic diversity and connectivity in Amazonian floodplain bird species, finding spatial variation in diversity but no evidence of historical range expansions.

Allele Phasing Greatly Improves the Phylogenetic Utility of Ultraconserved Elements

T. Andermann, A. M. Fernandes, U. Olsson, M. Topel, B. Pfeil, B. Oxelman, A. Aleixo, B. C. Faircloth, A. Antonelli

This paper develops a pipeline to recover allele sequences from sequence capture data and shows that phased allele sequences improve phylogenetic accuracy compared to contig sequences.

Species delimitation and biogeography of the gnatcatchers and gnatwrens (Aves: Polioptilidae)

B. T. Smith, R. W. Bryson, W. M. Mauck, J. Chaves, M. B. Robbins, A. Aleixo, J. Klicka

This study delimits species and infers phylogenetic relationships in gnatcatchers and gnatwrens, finding increased diversity and polyphyletic species, with biogeographic origins in South America.

Habitat preference predicts genetic diversity and population divergence in Amazonian birds

M. Harvey, A. Aleixo, C. C. Ribas, R. T. Brumfield

The paper links habitat preference to genetic diversity and population divergence in Amazonian birds, finding upland forest species have higher genetic diversity and deeper gene histories than floodplain species.
