Relationship of genetic diversity and niche centrality: a survey and analysis.
TL;DR: This work investigates the predictivity of geographic patterns of genetic variation based on geographic and environmental marginality using published genetic diversity data for 40 species and shows a negative relationship between genetic diversity and distance to environmental niche centroid, but no consistent relationship of genetic diversity with distance to geographic range center.

Cryptic diversity in a widespread North American songbird: phylogeography of the Brown Creeper (Certhia americana).
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used mtDNA to investigate cryptic diversity and patterns of diversification in the Brown Creeper (Certhia americana), the single described Certhia species in the Americas.

Multiple and Independent Phases of Transposable Element Amplification in the Genomes of Piciformes (Woodpeckers and Allies).
TL;DR: Woodpecker CR1 insertion polymorphisms are maintained at lower frequencies than single nucleotide polymorphisms indicating that purifying selection is acting against additional CR1 copies and that these elements impose a fitness cost on their host.

TL;DR: The results reveal extensive paraphyly of taxonomic groups across phylogenies inferred using different analytical approaches and suggest the genera Athene, Otus, Asio, Megascops, Bubo, and Strix are paraphyletic, whereas Ninox and Glaucidium are polyphyletic.

Isolation driven divergence: speciation in a widespread North American songbird (Aves: Certhiidae)
TL;DR: This work uses 21 nuclear loci from regional populations to re‐evaluate hypotheses identified in an mtDNA phylogeographic study of the Brown Creeper, as well as identify processes driving divergence.
