Abstract excerpt
Pseudopodoces humilis, a long misclassified terrestrial tit, is the only species of parid whose distribution is limited to treeless terrain and endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. We revealed the phylogeographic structure of the species by using mitochondrial control region, as well as comparing morphological characters. The distinct geographic distributions of two major clades suggest spatial and temporal...
