Abstract excerpt
Understanding how the evolutionary dynamics of widespread species unfold in space and time is critical for uncovering the processes shaping biodiversity. We integrated mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide SNPs to investigate the diversification of the widespread Southern House Wren (Troglodytes musculus) in southern South America and its insular relative, Cobb's Wren (T. cobbi) from the Malvinas/Falkland Islands...
