In this recent paper in Journal of Ornithology, I used citizen-science data (Macaulay library) to resolves disputed subspecies limits in the lesser spotted woodpecker across the Balkans and Minor Asia.

How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.

A mosaic of modular variation at a single gene underpins convergent plumage coloration
The reshuffling of genomic variation from multiple origins is an important contributor to phenotypic diversification, yet insights into the evolutionary trajectories of this combinatorial process and ...
