Abstract excerpt
Genomic data can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary history of rapidly diversifying groups and the genetic basis of phenotypic traits. We performed whole-genome resequencing of the warbler genus Myioborus to investigate the dynamics of its recent diversification in Neotropical mountains. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA produced mostly concordant tree topologies and revealed a pattern of north-to-south...
