Our knowledge about the origin of landbirds (Telluraves) is increasing rapidly but new questions are arising because of the contradictory findings from previous studies. All of the major lineages in the highly diverse clade of Neoaves have a Gondwanan origin, although studies often disagree about the origin of different sub-lineages. Nevertheless, understanding the biogeographical histories of these groups (e.g. Accipitriformes, Passeriformes) is important when studying the evolution of…

Evolution of Songbirds (Passeriformes) and their Presence in the Neogene and the Quaternary in the Carpathian Basin
Abstract Songbirds are the largest order of birds with 6456 species, making up more than half of every known bird species. The location and time of their emergence, as well as the method of their…

Phylogeny, Historical Biogeography and the Evolution of Migration in Accipitrid Birds of Prey (Aves: Accipitriformes)
TLDR
Results from directional evolutionary tests indicate that migration evolved in the tropics and then increased the rate of colonization of temperate habitats, suggesting that temperate species might be descendants of tropical ones that dispersed into these seasonal habitats.
Does the colonization of new biogeographic regions influence the diversification and accumulation of clade richness among the Corvides (Aves: Passeriformes)?
TLDR
Only the largest family (the Corvidae) had significantly heightened rates of both speciation and regional transition, implying that repeated regional colonization is not a general mechanism promoting lineage diversification among the Corvides.
The evolution of morphological diversity in continental assemblages of passerine birds
TLDR
The results show that the assembly of continental communities is idiosyncratic with regards to the diversification of new clades and the filling of morphospace, and mixed support is found for the prediction that first colonizers constrain subsequent colonizers.
Phylogeny, migration and life history: filling the gaps in the origin and biogeography of the Turdus thrushes
TLDR
It is concluded that along-latitudinal movements may have evolved earlier, simultaneously with the radiation of the Turdus thrushes, followed by the appearance of meridional migration, associated with orographic and climatic changes.
A new time tree reveals Earth history’s imprint on the evolution of modern birds
TLDR
P pervasive evidence is found that avian evolution has been influenced by plate tectonics and environmental change, two basic features of Earth’s dynamics.
New insights into New World biogeography: An integrated view from the phylogeny of blackbirds, cardinals, sparrows, tanagers, warblers, and allies
TLDR
A near-species-level phylogeny of the diverse New World clade Emberizoidea, the group that includes the familiar sparrows, cardinals, blackbirds, wood-warblers, tanagers, and their close relatives, is reported, to the authors' knowledge the largest essentially complete phylogenetic hypothesis for any group of organisms.
Phylogenomics and biogeography of the world's thrushes (Aves, Turdus): new evidence for a more parsimonious evolutionary history
TLDR
The results indicate that there have been considerably fewer trans-oceanic dispersals within the genus Turdus than previously suggested, such that the Palaearctic clade did not originate in America and the African clade was not involved in the colonization of the Americas.
The global diversity of birds in space and time
TLDR
It is found that birds have undergone a strong increase in diversification rate from about 50 million years ago to the near present, with a number of significant rate increases, both within songbirds and within other young and mostly temperate radiations including the waterfowl, gulls and woodpeckers.
Tectonic collision and uplift of Wallacea triggered the global songbird radiation
TLDR
It is shown that songbird diversification began in the Oligocene, but accelerated in the early Miocene, at approximately half the age of most previous estimates, reconcile songbird evolution with Earth history and link a major radiation of terrestrial biodiversity to early diversification within an isolated Australian continent.
Timing the extant avian radiation: The rise of modern birds, and the importance of modeling molecular rate variation
TLDR
How relationships between life-history and substitution rates can mislead divergence time studies that do not account for directional changes in substitution rates over time is discussed, and it is suggested that these effects might have caused some of the variation in existing molecular date estimates for birds.
