Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …

Many studies demonstrate that differences in mating signals are used by incipient species in
recognizing potential mates or sexual competitors (ie, species recognition). Little is known …

Birds are the best-known animal class, with only about five or six new species descriptions
per year since 1999. Integrating genomic and phenotypic research with arduous fieldwork in …

Over the last decade, molecular studies carried out on the Australasian biota have revealed
a new world of organic structure that exists from submicroscopic to continental scale …

We examine the origin and diversification of Philippine bulbuls using a phylogenetic
framework. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are used to construct trees from …

An unusual geological setting and a high level of endemism makes the Philippine islands of
great interest to biogeography. These islands lie adjacent to the continental (Sunda) shelf …

We constructed a phylogenetic hypothesis of the pattern of colonization of Philippine scops
owls (Otus and Mimizuku). Two mitochondrial genes, ND2 and cytochrome b, were …

Tropical rainforests are well known for their extraordinarily high levels of biodiversity. The
origin of this species richness is still debated. For instance, the museum hypothesis states …

We reconstructed the phylogeographic relationships of the Variable Dwarf-Kingfisher (Ceyx
lepidus) using DNA sequence data. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis methods …

The existence of distinct traits in island versus mainland populations offers opportunities to
gain insights into how eco-evolutionary processes operate under natural conditions. We …
