• The phylogenomic forest of bird trees contains a hard polytomy at the root of Neoaves (2016, background): “…other genome-scale studies that have resolved substantial phylogenetic conflict in rapid radiations [e.g. bears (Kutschera et al. 2014), Darwin’s finches (Lamichhaney et al. 2015), Ficedula flycatchers (Nater et al. 2015), gallopheasants (Meiklejohn et al. 2016) and tomatoes (Pease et al. 2016)].”
• Genomic approaches to understanding population divergence and speciation in birds (2015, background): “…related groups (Ellegren et al. 2012, Delmore et al. 2015, Singhal et al. 2015), evaluate avian evolutionary relationships (Jarvis et al. 2014, Lamichhaney et al. 2015), explore patterns of adaptive molecular evolution (Nam et al. 2010), and/or link genes to phenotypes (Shapiro et al. 2013,…”
• Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations (2017, neutral): “Introgression of traits involved in adaptation or reproductive isolation has been demonstrated among members of several adaptive radiations (for example, traits related to host shift in Rhagoletis fruit flies 10 , wing patterns in Heliconius butterflies 11,12 or beak shape in Darwin’s finches 13 ).”
• The genomics of local adaptation in trees: are we out of the woods yet? (2017, background): “…gene flow can promote adaptation and maintain polymorphisms within populations, including white sand lizards (Laurent et al. 2016), stick insects (Comeault et al. 2014, 2015), cichlid fishes (Meier et al. 2017), Darwin’s finches (Lamichhaney et al. 2015), and lodgepole pine (Yeaman & Jarvis 2006).”
