Two genes are responsible for the rapid diversification of warblers – Earth.com
A new study from Penn State may help to explain how warblers rapidly diverged into so many unique species.
A new study from Penn State may help to explain how warblers rapidly diverged into so many unique species. The researchers discovered that two genes involved in warbler coloration have evolved through very different processes.
“Wood warblers are an incredibly colorful and diverse group of birds, with more than a hundred species in total,” said study first author Marcella Baiz. “These species arose very quickly in evolutionary time in what biologists call a species radiation. To better understand…
