Abstract excerpt
The Hawai'ian honeycreepers (drepanids) are a classic example of adaptive radiation: they adapted to a variety of novel dietary niches, evolving a wide range of bill morphologies. Here we investigated genomic diversity, demographic history, and genes involved in bill morphology phenotypes in 2 honeycreepers: the 'akiapōlā'au (Hemignathus wilsoni) and the Hawai'i 'amakihi (Chlorodrepanis virens). The 'akiapōlā'au...
