Abstract Pleistocene glacial cycles have often been hypothesized to provide vicariant mechanisms leading to allopatric speciation in a wide range of southern South American (Fuegian and Patagonian) avian taxa. Few of those biogeographic hypotheses, however, have been rigorously tested using phylogenetic analysis. We examined sequence variation in three mitochondrial gene fragments (cytochrome b, ND2, and ND3) to construct a molecular phylogeny for the South American genus Geositta (Furnariidae…

Biogeographic patterns, origin and speciation of the endemic birds from eastern Brazilian mountaintops: a review

Patterns show that eastern Brazil, southern South America and the central and northern Andes are four important centres of origin and radiation for the endemic birds from the eastern Brazilian mountains.

HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE NEW WORLD SOLITAIRES (MYADESTES SPP)

The resulting phylogeny indicates a rapid initial spread of the genus to occupy most of its contemporary continental range at least as far south as lower Mesoamerica, plus Hawaii and the Greater Antilles and a further example of the importance of the Andes in the diversification of Neotropical birds.

Phylogeny and phylogenetic classification of the antbirds, ovenbirds, woodcreepers, and allies (Aves: Passeriformes: infraorder Furnariides)

A phylogenetic analysis of the Furnariides sampling 124 genera supports the Melanopareidae and Grallariidae as distinct from the Rhinocryptidae and Formicariidae, respectively and erects new family‐group names for clades having high branch support across methods.

Fourfold polyphyly of the genus formerly known as Upucerthia, with notes on the systematics and evolution of the avian subfamily Furnariinae.

Habitat shifts in the evolutionary history of a Neotropical flycatcher lineage from forest and open landscapes

Habitat shifts in the evolutionary history of Elaenia flycatchers are examined to reveal pronounced differences not only in the timing of the emergence of certain habitat preferences, but also in the frequency of habitat shifts.

Molecular systematics of the caracaras and allies (Falconidae: Polyborinae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data

Divergence time analyses revealed that the Polyborinae started to diversify in the Miocene, at about 14 Ma, and that the generalist ⁄scavenger behaviour in the Falconidae appeared between 14 and 6.6 Ma.

EVOLUTION INTO AND OUT OF THE ANDES: A BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DIVERSIFICATION IN THAMNOPHILUS ANTSHRIKES

A molecular phylogeny of Thamnophlius antshrikes, a clade of 30 species whose collective distribution spans nearly the entirety of lowland habitats in tropical South America, the eastern slope foothills of the Andes, and the tepuis, finds the highest transition rates were between highland-restricted and lowland-to-highland distributions, with extremely low rates into and out of low land-restricted distributions.

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL BASIS OF RECENT PHENOTYPIC DIVERGENCE AMONG BIRDS: A GLOBAL STUDY OF SUBSPECIES RICHNESS

Overall, it is demonstrated that biogeographic models can explain about 30% of the global variation in subspecies richness in birds.

The two exclusively Pacific species were positionally apomorphic within the Andean-Pacific clade; ancestral area analysis indicated that the high Andes were the most likely area of origin for this clade, and that the Pacific coast was occupied secondarily.

Pleistocene phylogeographic effects on avian populations and the speciation process

When avian speciation is viewed properly as an extended temporal process rather than as a point event, Pleistocene conditions appear to have played an active role both in initiating major phylogeographic separations within species, and in completing speciations that had been inaugurated earlier.

A TEST OF THE GLACIAL REFUGIUM HYPOTHESIS USING PATTERNS OF MITOCHONDRIAL AND NUCLEAR DNA SEQUENCE VARIATION IN ROCK PTARMIGAN (LAGOPUS MUTUS)

The results are most consistent with the hypothesis that isolated populations of rock ptarmigan diverged in multiple refugia during the Wisconsin glaciation and that geographic variation reflects patterns of recolonization of the Nearctic after the ice receded.

It is concluded that the entire Pleistocene, including the last two glacial cycles (<250,000 years ago), was important in speciations of modern North American birds.

High Levels of Mitochondrial DNA Differentiation in Two Lineages of Antbirds (Drymophila and Hypocnemis)

Weighted parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses supported Hypocnemis as the sister taxon to Drymophila; the genus Myrmotherula was not monophyletic, supporting previous allozyme analyses and finding that spacer regions between genes also provided phylogenetically informative characters from the level of suboscine families to within the biological species that the authors studied.

Strong Diversification at the Treeline among Metallura Hummingbirds

Analysis of nucleotide sequences from three different mitochondrial gene fragments show that Metallura forms a monophyletic group whose sister taxon is the genus Chalcostig- ma, confirming the idea that montane forest and treeline forms are sister taxa in a strict sense.

Reconciling genetic expectations from host specificity with historical population dynamics in an avian brood parasite, Horsfield’s Bronze‐Cuckoo Chalcites basalis of Australia

The need to understand the evolutionary context in which a brood parasite and its hosts have evolved is illustrated if mtDNA data are to be used in testing hypotheses concerning the origin and maintenance of host specificity.
