Revealing cryptic lineages: genetic structure and conservation units in the Eurasian Stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) - Journal of Ornithology Birds with parapatric distribution often develop distinct subspecies over time, which exhibit morphological, behavioral, or genetic differences in response to local environmental pressures. The Eurasi...

New paper out in Journal of Ornithology

We investigate the genetic structure of the Eurasian Stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus), identifying distinct lineages with important conservation implications.
