Was the extinct Spectacled Cormorant part of the North Pacific kelp-associated fauna?

Amy L. Adams, Pascale Lubbe, Alexander T. Salis…·Nicolas J. Rawlence

This paper uses ancient DNA to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the extinct Spectacled Cormorant, finding it diverged from relatives around 6.98 Mya and may have been a kelp-forest predator.

The radiation of Austral teals and the evolution of flightlessness

Hanna S. Rosinger, Olga Kardailsky, Martyn Kennedy…·Michael Knapp

This study presents the first whole mitogenome-based phylogeny of Austral teals, revealing their divergence from mallards in the late Miocene and radiation into flightless and volant lineages.
