Dynamics of mitochondrial dna evolution in animals: amplification and sequencing with conserved primers
Thomas D. Kocher,W.K. Thomas,Axel Meyer,Scott V. Edwards,Svante Pääbo,Francis X. Villablanca,Allan C. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: The polymerase chain reaction is used to amplify homologous segments of mtDNA from more than 100 animal species, including mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and some invertebrates, and the unexpectedly wide taxonomic utility of these primers offers opportunities for phylogenetic and population research.

TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Is a new and general theory of molecular systematics emerging
TL;DR: It is argued that to better deal with the large multilocus datasets brought on by phylogenomics, and to better align the fields of phylogeography and phylogenetics, the primacy of species trees should be embraced.

TL;DR: This work explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades to reveal that pan-avian genomic diversity covaries with adaptations to different lifestyles and convergent evolution of traits.
