Phylogenetic relationships and morphological diversity in Darwin's finches and their relatives.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the importance of Darwin's finches to the development of evolutionary theory, the origin of the group has only recently been examined using a rigorous, phylogenetic methodology that includes many potential outgroups.
