Trait-dependent dispersal in rails (Aves: Rallidae): Historical biogeography of a cosmopolitan bird clade.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Jun 2021

Garcia-R Juan C, Matzke Nicholas J

Abstract excerpt

The ability of lineages to disperse over evolutionary timescales may be influenced by the gain or loss of traits after adaptation to new ecological conditions. For example, rails (Aves: Rallidae) have many cases of flightless insular endemic species that presumably evolved after flying ancestors dispersed over large ocean barriers and became isolated. Nonetheless, the details of how flying and its loss have...
