Article
John M. Schukman, Auteur ; P. Joser Atauchi, Auteur ; A. Townsend Peterson, AuteurClimate and vegetation change can affect interactions among bird species, and may result in shifting range boundaries. Long-term interspecific range dynamics can be explored in hybrid zones or contact zones to evaluate these shifts. In this stud[...]

Townsend Peterson, AuteurThe forest swallow Petrochelidon fuliginosa is a little-known species endemic to lowland forests in central Africa; for lack of access to high-quality genetic material, the species has been omitted from all previous molecular phylogenetic studie[...]
Article
P. Joser Atauchi, Auteur ; A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Jeremy Flanagan, AuteurBiotic interactions have been controversial in distributional ecology, mainly in regards to whether they have effects over broad extents, with the negative view known as the Eltonian noise hypothesis (ENH). In this study, we evaluated the ENH fo[...]
Article
A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Tashitso Anamza, AuteurThe idea of ring species has been viewed as a demonstration of the potential for species-level differentiation produced by isolation by distance in otherwise continuous populations. Although the concept is attractive, the list of empirical examp[...]

Vivian Ribeiro, Auteur ; A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Fernanda P. Werneck, Auteur ; Ricardo B. Machado, AuteurDiverse historical and ecological factors determine and drive diversification of vertebrate lineages. Historical factors (e.g., orogenic movements) are expected to act on coarser spatial and temporal scales than contemporary ecological factors ([...]
Article
Utku Perktaş, Auteur ; A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Dale Dyer, AuteurDiagnosing distinct evolutionary taxa requires careful assessment of genetic, morphological, ecological, and behavioral variation within and among populations. In this study, data on phenotype (mensural and plumage coloration), genotype (mitocho[...]
Article
Jano Núñez-Zapata, Auteur ; A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Adolfo G. Navarro-Sigüenza, AuteurIt is suggested that dispersal and vicariance led to speciation in Mesoamerican taxa during the Pleistocene, as a consequence of climatic fluctuations and resulting range disjunctions, but few biogeographic studies have been developed to assess [...]

Alcala, Auteur ; D. J. Futuyma, AuteurLong celebrated for its spectacular landscapes and strikingly high levels of endemic biodiversity, the Philippines has been studied intensively by biogeographers for two centuries. Concentration of so many endemic land vertebrates into a small a[...]
Article
Molecular clocks have seen many applications in ornithology, but many applications are uncritical. In this commentary, I point out logical inconsistencies in many uses of clocks in avian molecular systematics. I call for greater rigor in applica[...]
Article
A. Townsend Peterson, Auteur ; Adolfo G. Navarro-Sigüenza, AuteurMexico has a megadiverse avifauna that includes many endemic elements, as well as rich sets of species ranging farther north or farther south in the Americas. This avifauna, nonetheless, has suffered considerable losses as a consequence of long-[...]
