Phylogeny and character evolution in the Empidonax group of tyrant flycatchers (Aves: Tyrannidae): a test of W. E. Lanyon's hypothesis using mtDNA sequences.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Feb 2002

Cicero Carla, Johnson Ned K

Abstract excerpt

We sequenced mitochondrial DNA from four protein-coding genes for 26 taxa to test W. E. Lanyon's hypothesis of intergeneric relationships and character evolution in the Empidonax group of tyrant flycatchers. Three genera in this group (Empidonax, Contopus, and Sayornis) successfully occupy north temperate habitats for breeding, while the remaining genera (Mitrephanes, Cnemotriccus, Aphanotriccus, Lathrotriccus,...
