• Risk taking by singing males (2008, background): “…in the comparative analyses were based on Sibley and Ahlquist (1990), combined with information from other sources (Sheldon et al. 1992; Blondel et al. 1996; Slikas et al. 1996; Badyaev 1997; Helbig and Seibold 1999; Barker et al. 2001, 2004; Voelker and Spellman 2004) (Supplementary Figure 1A,B).”
• Molecular Studies and Phylogeography of Amazonian Tetrapods and their Relation to Geological and Climatic Models (2010, background): “Several independent dispersals took place between the Old and New World during the Oligocene and Miocene (34–14 Ma), probably through Beringia (Barker et al. 2004).”
• New insights into New World biogeography: An integrated view from the phylogeny of blackbirds, cardinals, sparrows, tanagers, warblers, and allies (2015, background): “Given an estimated stem age of ~20 Ma for the Emberizoidea (Barker et al. 2004), its presence in the New World is likely the result of dispersal over a Beringian land bridge (as suggested by Mayr 1946, 1964), given that North Atlantic and Antarctic land connections were sundered by water barriers by”
• The global distribution of frugivory in birds (2009, background): “The classification of species follows Sibley & Ahlquist (1990) for non-passerines and Barker et al . (2004) for passerines and was updated for newly described species and recent splits and lumps.”
• Molecular dating of the ‘Gondwanan’ plant family Proteaceae is only partially congruent with the timing of the break‐up of Gondwana (2007, background): “…of avian clades suggests that the Meliphagoidea, an order containing the nectar-feeding Meliphagidae (honey-eaters), radiated in the early Eocene in Australia (Barker et al., 2004), a timing that is approximately concordant with our estimates for the diversification of this bird-pollinated group.”
• Prevalence of different modes of parental care in birds (2006, methodology): “I augmented the phylogenetic hypotheses of Sibley & Ahlqist (1990) with insights from new molecular phylogenetic analysis, which has particularly marked effects on the relationships of the passerines (Barker et al. 2002, 2004; Ericson et al. 2002, 2003).”
• Social bonds in birds are associated with brain size and contingent on the correlated evolution of life‐history and increased parental investment (2010, methodology): “We constructed a phylogeny for the species in the database based on published sources (Sibley & Alhquist, 1990; Sibley & Monroe, 1990; Barker et al., 2004). Although the tree produced by Sibley & Alhquist (1990) has been criticized, it remains the best resolved supertree for birds.”
• Projected Impacts of Climate and Land-Use Change on the Global Diversity of Birds (2007, background): “[38] for passerines and was updated for newly described species and recent splits and lumps.”
• Tyrant flycatchers coming out in the open: phylogeny and ecological radiation of Tyrannidae (Aves, Passeriformes) (2008, background): “Two independent estimates of the age of the oscine–suboscine split are available (Ericson et al. 2002; Barker et al. 2004).”
• Which birds adjust the frequency of vocalizations in urban noise (2010, methodology): “For this we compiled a phylogeny for our species based on Hackett et al. (2008) and Barker et al. (2002, 2004).”
• Nuclear DNA from old collections of avian study skins reveals the evolutionary history of the Old World suboscines (Aves, Passeriformes) (2006, background): “That the variation in syrinx morphology in passerines is generally consistent with molecular data is obvious when comparing the extensive morphological study by Ames (1971) with recent molecular findings (e.g. Barker et al. 2002, 2004; Ericson et al. 2002a; Irestedt et al. 2002).”
• Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, methodology): “Missing families were then inserted based on fully resolved sister-group relationships provided by Sibley & Ahlquist (1990), Barker et al. (2004), Fain & Houde (2004) or Davis (2008).”
• Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota (2011, neutral): “This is apparent from well-documented, disjunct distributions of a range of plants and animals (e.g. Webb et al., 1984; Barker et al., 2004; Jonsson et al., 2008).”
