متن کاملSpeciation and rapid phenotypic differentiation in the yellow-rumped warbler Dendroica coronata complex.
The relative importance of the Pleistocene glacial cycles in driving avian speciation remains controversial, partly because species limits in many groups remain poorly understood, and because current taxonomic designations are often based on phenotypic characteristics of uncertain phylogenetic significance. We use mtDNA sequence data to examine patterns of genetic variation, sequence divergence...
متن کاملDigestive response to restricted feeding in migratory yellow-rumped warblers.
Smaller guts and slow initial mass gains at stopover sites have led to the idea that digestive physiology limits refueling rates in migrating birds. We tested the digestive-limitation hypothesis in yellow-rumped warblers using food restriction to simulate infrequent feeding during migration, which may cause a reduction in alimentary tract mass. Restricted birds had small intestine, pancreas, an...
متن کاملMale plumage, paternal care and reproductive success in yellow warblers, Dendroica petechia
Using morphological or behavioural features correlated with paternal care, females can, prior to mating, assess the potential parental contribution of males. As a first step in a study of female mate choice in yellow warblers, this study was designed to examine the importance of paternal care by males of differing chest striping. Contrary to a previous report, paternal care was not negatively c...
متن کاملA cryptic contact zone between divergent mitochondrial DNA lineages in southwestern North America supports past introgressive hybridization in the yellowrumped warbler complex (Aves: Dendroica coronata)
Using genetic data to study the process of population divergence is central to understanding speciation, yet distinguishing between recent divergence and introgressive hybridization is challenging. In a previous study on the phylogeography of the yellow-rumped warbler complex using mitochondrial (mt)DNA data, we reported limited sequence divergence and a lack of reciprocal monophyly between myr...
