How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.

A mosaic of modular variation at a single gene underpins convergent plumage coloration
The reshuffling of genomic variation from multiple origins is an important contributor to phenotypic diversification, yet insights into the evolutionary trajectories of this combinatorial process and ...

Introgression across narrow contact zones shapes the genomic landscape of phylogenetic variation in an African bird clade
Abstract. Genomic analyses of hybrid zones provide excellent opportunities to investigate the consequences of introgression in nature. In combination with

Climate underpins continent‐wide patterns of carotenoid‐based feather colour consistent with Gloger's observations
Temperature and rainfall were posited by Gloger and Görnitz to explain a pattern they observed of greater carotenoid colour intensity towards the tropics. We test this hypothesis in a continent-wide ...

Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Fluctuations and Divergence With Gene Flow Drive Continent‐Wide Diversification in an African Bird
Diversification mechanisms in Sub-Saharan Africa have long attracted research interest, with varying support for either allopatric or parapatric models of speciation. However, studies have seldom bee...
