The evolutionary history and genomics of European blackcap migration
Seasonal migration is a taxonomically widespread behaviour that integrates across many
traits. The European blackcap exhibits enormous variation in migration and is renowned for …

Hybrid songbirds employ intermediate routes in a migratory divide
KE Delmore, DE Irwin - Ecology Letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory divides are contact zones between populations that use different routes to navigate
around unsuitable areas on seasonal migration. Hybrids in divides have been predicted to …

[PDF][PDF] The genetics of seasonal migration and plumage color
Details on the genetics of behavioral and quantitative phenotypes remain limited to a few
organisms. Such information is central to understanding both adaptation and speciation, as …

Gene flow and selection interact to promote adaptive divergence in regions of low recombination
Adaptation to new environments often occurs in the face of gene flow. Under these
conditions, gene flow and recombination can impede adaptation by breaking down linkage …

Genomic analysis of a migratory divide reveals candidate genes for migration and implicates selective sweeps in generating islands of differentiation
Differential gene flow, reductions in diversity following linked selection and/or features of the
genome can structure patterns of genomic differentiation during the process of speciation. …

A comparison of genomic islands of differentiation across three young avian species pairs
…, AN Porter, C Grossen, KE Delmore… - Molecular …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Detailed evaluations of genomic variation between sister species often reveal distinct
chromosomal regions of high relative differentiation (ie, “islands of differentiation” in F ST ), but …

Recurrent selection explains parallel evolution of genomic regions of high relative but low absolute differentiation in a ring species
Recent technological developments allow investigation of the repeatability of evolution at the
genomic level. Such investigation is particularly powerful when applied to a ring species, in …
