Open AccessComplexity of avian evolution revealed by family-level genomes
Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to diversity of species sampled, ph...

Open AccessAdaptive expansion of ERVK solo-LTRs is associated with Passeriformes speciation events
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviral remnants integrated in host genomes, and commonly deleted through unequal homologous recombination, leaving solitary long terminal repeats (solo-LTRs). Thi...

Open AccessGene flow and an anomaly zone complicate phylogenomic inference in a rapidly radiated avian family (Prunellidae)
Resolving the phylogeny of rapidly radiating lineages presents a challenge when building the Tree of Life. An Old World avian family Prunellidae (Accentors) comprises twelve species that rapidly diversified at...

Open AccessGenomic insights into the secondary aquatic transition of penguins
Penguins lost the ability to fly more than 60 million years ago, subsequently evolving a hyper-specialized marine body plan. Within the framework of a genome-scale, fossil-inclusive phylogeny, we identify key ...
