Reference numbers in the following legend refer to the original article. A phylogenetic reconstruction of SWS1 opsin evolution. A tree redrawn from Hackett et al. [44], showing shifts between violet (VS) and UV sensitivity (UVS) in SWS1 single-cone pigments (this study and references in text and S2). Taxa new to this study are shown in bold font. In parentheses are the codons and corresponding amino acid residues of the spectral tuning sites 86 (above line) and 90 (below). Nucleotide substitutions (lower case letters) are indicated at their most likely evolutionary position in the tree. The number of species that have been analysed per taxon is shown after taxon names (in bold folt for taxa sequenced in this study). For the sake of brevity, the Charadriiformes and Passeriformes clades have been collapsed. The evolution of SWS1 in these orders is reconstructed in [49] and [50,51], respectively. Asterix (*) indicates that amino acid residue C86 has been found in a subset, family Accipitridae, of the order Accipitriformes.

  • Asynchronous Evolution of Interdependent Nest Characters Across the Avian Phylogeny
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04265-x OPEN Asynchronous evolution of interdependent nest characters across the avian phylogeny Yi-Ting Fang1, Mao-Ning Tuanmu 2 & Chih-Ming Hung 2 Nest building is a widespread behavior among birds that reflects their adaptation to the environment and evolutionary history. However, it remains unclear how nests evolve and how their evolution relates to the bird phylogeny. Here, by examining the evolution of three nest — — 1234567890():,; characters structure, site, and attachment across all bird families, we reveal that nest characters did not change synchronically across the avian phylogeny but had disparate evolutionary trajectories. Nest structure shows stronger phylogenetic signal than nest site, while nest attachment has little variation. Nevertheless, the three characters evolved inter- dependently. For example, the ability of birds to explore new nest sites might depend on the emergence of novel nest structure and/or attachment. Our results also reveal labile nest characters in passerines compared with other birds. This study provides important insights into avian nest evolution and suggests potential associations between nest diversification and the adaptive radiations that generated modern bird lineages. 1 Department of Life Sciences, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan. 2 Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.

Over the past two de- cades, a wealth of new fossil discoveries and phylogenetic and macroevolutionary studies has transformed our understanding of how birds originated and became so successful. Birds evolved from theropod dino- saurs during the Jurassic (around 165–150 million years ago) and their classic small, lightweight, feathered, and winged body plan was pieced together gradually over tens of millions of years of evolution rather than in one burst of innovation. Early birds diversified throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, becoming capable fliers with supercharged growth rates, but were decimated at the end-Cretaceous extinction alongside their close dinosaurian relatives. After the mass extinction, modern birds (members of the avian crown group) explosively diversified, culminating in more than 10,000 species distributed worldwide today.

Wisocki1, Patrick Kennelly1, Indira Rojas Rivera1, Phillip Cassey2, Daniel Hanley1* 4 5 1Long Island University – Post, 720 Northern Boulevard, Brookville, NY 11548, USA 6 2School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Adelaide, SA 5005, Australia 7 8 *email: [email protected] 9 The survival of a bird’s egg depends upon their ability to maintain within strict thermal 10 limits. Avian eggshell colours have long been considered a phenotype that can help them stay 11 within these thermal limits, with dark eggs absorbing heat more rapidly than bright eggs. 12 Although long disputed, evidence suggests that darker eggs do increase in temperature more 13 rapidly than lighter eggs, explaining why dark eggs are often considered as a cost to trade- 14 off against crypsis. Although studies have considered whether eggshell colours can confer an 15 adaptive benefit, no study has demonstrated evidence that eggshell colours have actually 16 adapted for this function. This would require data spanning a wide phylogenetic diversity of 17 birds and a global spatial scale. Here we show evidence that darker and browner eggs have 18 indeed evolved in cold climes, and that the thermoregulatory advantage for avian eggs is a 19 stronger selective pressure in cold climates.
