Correction needed!!!

Are they all posted yet? I'm not seeing all of them if so.

Yup

Great contribution to the field! I wonder though for those of us studying vertebrates if we should still expect this to hold? Most of your animal species were invertebrates, right?

Question: why do birds in the east appear to be going north?

I feel like a lot of organizations decided it was more convenient to just not go back to doing things in person after the pandemic. The police dept. in my town was still claiming COVID restrictions as a reason for not inspecting my infant car seat in 2022!

Looks like it has some Ardea genetics. Tricolored-GREG?

Al, you got et al.-ed! But seriously, nice work!

I'll be there

Not every bird lives up to both its common and scientific names.

Thanks Jess!

So what does this mean for plumage introgression? It could mean that we’ve caught this situation as gene flow is temporarily slowed at the river before it continues. Or it could point to geographic variation in female preference or some other unusual scenario. Either would be pretty interesting.

Finally, we ran demographic models to estimate gene flow and found a similar result. Higher gene flow upriver than downriver. But in both areas, there is plenty of gene flow across the river.
