Studies from R. Gibson et al in the Area of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Described

2012 JUL 17 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Life Science Weekly -- Investigators discuss new findings in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. According to news reporting from Toronto, Canada, by NewsRx journalists, researchers stated "Shorebirds (Charadriiformes) are a diverse assemblage of species renowned for their variation in behavior, morphology, and life-history traits, but comparative studies of trait variation remain limited by the lack of a well-supported phylogeny based on DNA sequences. In this study we build upon previous shorebird phylogenies to construct the first sequence-based species-level phylogeny for the Scolopaci, one of three...
