Discordance between genomic divergence and phenotypic variation in a rapidly evolving avian genus (Motacilla).
Generally, genotypes and phenotypes are expected to be spatially congruent; however, in widespread species complexes with few barriers to dispersal, multiple contact zones, and limited reproductive isolation, discordance between phenotypes and phylogeographic groups is more probable. Wagtails (Motacilla) are a genus of birds with striking plumage pattern variation across the Old World. Up to 13...
متن کاملGenetic Organization Of Motacilla Flava
The Yellow Wagtail, Motacilla flava Linnaeus, Motacillidae (Passeriformes : Aves) is a slender 15 16 cm long bird that inhabits open country near water such as wet meadows. Cytological investigation depicted the diploid chromosome count between 78 and 85 with 80 as modal value. No structural uncertainty was observed between macroand microchromosomes. Z W were fourth in order of size, both sub-m...

Dolenec, Z.: Some breeding traits of the pied wagtail (Motacilla alba) in NW Croatia. Nat. Croat., Vol. 20, No. 1., 209–214, 2011, Zagreb. In this study, some key aspects of the breeding performance of the pied wagtail are reported for the first time in northwestern Croatian. Only first clutches are included. The average egg length was 20.04 mm, breadth = 14.96 mm, volume = 2276.41 mm3 and egg ...
متن کاملIntraspecific phylogeography of the Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus (Perciformes: Nemipteridae), from the Persian Gulf and Indo-West Pacific: a preliminary study based on mitochondrial DNA sequence
The Japanese threadfin bream, Nemipterus japonicus, the most abundant and crucially economic Nemipterus species is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species has been studied widely for various aspects but genetic studies are scanty. This preliminary study contributes to the species phylogeography through the study of the genetic diversity and historical demography of N. japonicus...
متن کاملPleistocene Aridification Cycles Shaped the Contemporary Genetic Architecture of Southern African Baboons
Plio-Pleistocene environmental change influenced the evolutionary history of many animal lineages in Africa, highlighting key roles for both climate and tectonics in the evolution of Africa's faunal diversity. Here, we explore diversification in the southern African chacma baboon Papio ursinus sensu lato and reveal a dominant role for increasingly arid landscapes during past glacial cycles in s...
