The Iberá Seedeater, a recently described species from Argentina, has a unique plumage that is a product of mixing coloration genes from closely related species.
These differences are enough to prevent it from interbreeding with its close relatives.

The reason biologists in your timeline are furious by this PR: the idea that species that diverged millions of years ago have only 20 genetic differences defies the fundamental principles of evolution. Like saying you turned a Honda Civic into a Formula 1 car by changing the oil

How do different types of genetic variants contribute to Capuchino Seedeater evolution?
@MariaRecuerda built a pangenome from 32 HiFi genomes, recovering 28% more sequence and 8% more genes than with a single reference.

My study on territorial behavior and breeding philopatry has just been published (open access, @FieldOrnith). It is the result of my doctoral thesis.

Come check the poster I'm presenting with @evoleoC and Cecilia Kopuchian about my PhD project with Capuchinos at Esteros del Ibera.

How do structural variants shape avian phenotypes?
This is what @MariaRecue13274 learned mainly from chickens.

That’s about half the annual salary of an university professor in Brazil.

Nature now charges $12,290 US to publish a single article open access. Shall we list some things that cost less than that? I'll go first: a 2017 BMW 330i sedan, a 7-day cruise for a family of four, six Louis Vuitton purses. 🤪

In 2013 Márcio Repenning and Carla Fontana described Sporophila beltoni. In our new paper, @Tram_N_Nguyen and I teamed up with them to show how S. beltoni diverged from S. plumbea with a few genomic regions resisting introgression, despite high gene flow.

“Variant scores calculated by GATK did not clearly distinguish true positives from false positives in the vast majority of cases, implying that hard-filtering with GATK could be challenging… results suggest that Bcftools mpileup may be the first choice for non-human studies”
