This study simulates structured populations to assess PSMC's ability to infer demographic history, finding it fails to recover older fluctuations but works better for recent periods.

The paper tests if song divergence between two populations of Canary Islands Chaffinches acts as a pre-mating barrier, finding weak behavioural discrimination between habitats.

The paper identifies barrier loci in Zosterops species by analyzing genomic differentiation across divergence stages, showing Z chromosome involvement and roles of natural and sexual selection in reproductive isolation.

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of 371 effect sizes from 75 studies on acoustic adaptation hypothesis, finding no consistent support for vegetation structure affecting acoustic signaling across terrestrial vertebrates.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze demographic responses of island birds to local and regional ecological disruptions, finding synchronous population size reductions during the Last Glacial Maximum in Reunion species.

The paper examines divergence in a songbird lineage on Reunion Island, finding natural selection drives highland adaptation while sexual selection on sex chromosomes differentiates lowland forms.
