Ancient genomics reveals lost giant chaffinch ecomorphs in the Azores

2026-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> Islands harbour exceptional concentrations of endemic biodiversity, yet their biotas have been profoundly reshaped by human colonisation. In the Azores, deforestation and the introduction of invasive mammals drove major ecological transformations, and the fossil record reveals that the archipelago once supported avian communities far more diverse than those of...
