Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “…arising as needed by incorporating or modifying traits that already exist, like flight (Dingle 2006), and bearing little relation to relatedness among species or even of subspecies within lineages (Helbig 2003;Leisler andWinkler 2003;Outlaw et al. 2003; Joseph2005; Outlaw and Voelker 2006).”
Inferring dispersal: a Bayesian approach to phylogeny‐based island biogeography, with special reference to the Canary Islands (2008, background): “However, ancestral state changes are typically reconstructed over a fixed tree topology with fixed branch lengths (Nepokroeff et al., 2003; Outlaw et al., 2003), in which case the phylogenetic uncertainty is ignored.”
Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, background): “The suggestion that migration schedules of Red Knots are not deeply rooted in their phylogeny echoes similar findings of evolutionary lability of migration in passerines, where closely related species or subspecies may also show stark divergences in migratory versus sedentary behaviour (Helbig 2003;”
