چکیده
1. Fumin Lei is no longer listed as an author of this article. Instead, his helpful input is noted in the acknowledgements section. 2. The provisional version of this article mistakenly stated that zebra finch belongs to the Paridae family. We have now corrected this error to reflect the classification of this species to the Estrildidae family. 3. In the abstract of the provisional version of the article we stated that the phylogeny of the ground tit was confirmed as belonging to the Paridae family. We have now re-phrased this sentence to say that ground tit phylogeny was confirmed as not belonging to the Corvidae family. 4. In the conclusions of the provisional version of the article we stated that the phylogeny of the ground tit was confirmed as not belonging to the Corvidae family but to the Paridae family. We have now re-phrased this conclusion to say that ground tit phylogeny was confirmed as not belonging to the Corvidae family.

Phylogeography of ground tit (Pseudopodoces humilis) based on mtDNA: evidence of past fragmentation on the Tibetan Plateau.
Pseudopodoces humilis, a long misclassified terrestrial tit, is the only species of parid whose distribution is limited to treeless terrain and endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. We revealed the phylogeographic structure of the species by using mitochondrial control region, as well as comparing morphological characters. The distinct geographic distributions of two major clades suggest spatial and ...
متن کاملA complete multilocus species phylogeny of the tits and chickadees (Aves: Paridae).
The avian family Paridae (tits and chickadees) contains c. 55 species distributed in the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropics and Indomalaya. The group includes some of the most well-known and extensively studied avian species, and the evolutionary history, in particular the post-glacial colonization of the northern latitudes, has been comparably well-studied for several species. Yet a comprehensi...
متن کاملBi-parental vs. cooperative breeding in a passerine: fitness-maximizing strategies of males in response to risk of extra-pair paternity?
In socially monogamous species, males that risk cuckoldry more than others might gain inclusive fitness by yielding paternity to relatives. We tested this prediction in the Tibetan ground tit Pseudopodoces humilis, an unusual facultative cooperative breeder wherein most helpers (87% males) join a mated pair shortly before clutch completion. Extra-pair paternity among bi-parental broods occurred...
متن کاملFunctional Genomic Insights into Regulatory Mechanisms of High-Altitude Adaptation.
Recent studies of indigenous human populations at high altitude have provided proof-of-principle that genome scans of DNA polymorphism can be used to identify candidate loci for hypoxia adaptation. When integrated with experimental analyses of physiological phenotypes, genome-wide surveys of DNA polymorphism and tissue-specific transcriptional profiles can provide insights into actual mechanism...
