  • Dense Sampling of Bird Diversity Increases Power of Comparative Genomics
    Article Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2873-9 A list of authors and affiliations appears at the end of the paper. Received: 9 August 2019 Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and Accepted: 27 July 2020 characterizing biodiversity1–4. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed Published online: 11 November 2020 to confound phylogenetic inference5, and captures only a fraction of the genomic Open access diversity. Here we report a substantial step towards the dense representation of avian phylogenetic and molecular diversity, by analysing 363 genomes from 92.4% of bird Check for updates families—including 267 newly sequenced genomes produced for phase II of the Bird 10,000 Genomes (B10K) Project. We use this comparative genome dataset in combination with a pipeline that leverages a reference-free whole-genome alignment to identify orthologous regions in greater numbers than has previously been possible and to recognize genomic novelties in particular bird lineages. The densely sampled alignment provides a single-base-pair map of selection, has more than doubled the fraction of bases that are confdently predicted to be under conservation and reveals extensive patterns of weak selection in predominantly non-coding DNA. Our results demonstrate that increasing the diversity of genomes used in comparative studies can reveal more shared and lineage-specifc variation, and improve the investigation of genomic characteristics. We anticipate that this genomic resource will ofer new perspectives on evolutionary processes in cross-species comparative analyses and assist in eforts to conserve species.

  • ECDC/EFSA Joint Report: Avian Influenza Overview October
    SCIENTIFIC REPORT APPROVED: 29 September 2017 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2017.5018 Avian influenza overview October 2016–August 2017 European Food Safety Authority, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, European Union Reference Laboratory for Avian influenza, Ian Brown, Paolo Mulatti, Krzysztof Smietanka, Christoph Staubach, Preben Willeberg, Cornelia Adlhoch, Denise Candiani, Chiara Fabris, Gabriele Zancanaro, Joana Morgado and Frank Verdonck Abstract The A(H5N8) highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) epidemic occurred in 29 European countries in 2016/2017 and has been the largest ever recorded in the EU in terms of number of poultry outbreaks, geographical extent and number of dead wild birds. Multiple primary incursions temporally related with all major poultry sectors affected but secondary spread was most commonly associated with domestic waterfowl species. A massive effort of all the affected EU Member States (MSs) allowed a descriptive epidemiological overview of the cases in poultry, captive birds and wild birds, providing also information on measures applied at the individual MS level. Data on poultry population structure are required to facilitate data and risk factor analysis, hence to strengthen science-based advice to risk managers. It is suggested to promote common understanding and application of definitions related to control activities and their reporting across MSs. Despite a large number of human exposures to infected poultry occurred during the ongoing outbreaks, no transmission to humans has been identified. Monitoring the avian influenza (AI) situation in other continents indicated a potential risk of long-distance spread of HPAI virus (HPAIV) A(H5N6) from Asia to wintering grounds towards Western Europe, similarly to what happened with HPAIV A(H5N8) and HPAIV A(H5N1) in previous years.

  • Data Types and the Phylogeny of Neoaves
    Article Data Types and the Phylogeny of Neoaves Edward L. Braun * and Rebecca T. Kimball * Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA * Correspondence: ebraun68@ufl.edu (E.L.B.); rkimball@ufl.edu (R.T.K.) Simple Summary: Some of the earliest studies using molecular data to resolve evolutionary history separated birds into three main groups: Paleognathae (ostriches and allies), Galloanseres (ducks and chickens), and Neoaves (the remaining ~95% of avian species). The early evolution of Neoaves, however, has remained challenging to understand, even as data from whole genomes have become available. We have recently proposed that some of the conflicts among recent studies may be due to the type of genomic data that is analyzed (regions that code for proteins versus regions that do not). However, a rigorous examination of this hypothesis using coding and non-coding data from the same genomic regions sequenced from a relatively large number of species has not yet been conducted. Here we perform such an analysis and show that data type does influence the methods used to infer evolutionary relationships from molecular sequences. We also show that conducting analyses using models of sequence evolution that were chosen to minimize reconstruction errors result in coding and non-coding trees that are much more similar, and we add to the evidence that non-coding data provide better information regarding neoavian relationships. While a few relationships remain problematic, we are approaching a good understanding of the evolutionary history for major avian groups. Abstract: The phylogeny of Neoaves, the largest clade of extant birds, has remained unclear despite intense study.

AUTHOR OF MODERN AND ANTJENT GEOGRAPHY FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. STEREOTYPED BY J. HOWE. PHILADELPHIA: BLANQHARD AND LEA. 1851. G- PREFATORY NOTE INDEX OF DR. BUTLER'S ANTIENT ATLAS. It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous.

  • Global Diversity of Birds 2015
    Ornithology NREM/ZOOL 4464 Dr. Tim O’Connell Spring 2015 A Classification of Birds of the World – Laboratory Investigations As students of Ornithology, a primary objective for you is to develop a working knowledge of the diversity of birds of the world. As you internalize this information, you will develop a deep appreciation for the central role that evolution plays as the driver of biological diversity. We begin this week in Lab to really explore the diversity of birds through in-depth examination of orders and families. Avian classification is fluid: the ordering and alliance of families and orders differs according to different authorities and new information is continually becoming available that enhances our ability to discern relationships; this results in updated classifications. You are embarking on this voyage during a time of significant taxonomic revision, and much of what you will learn in Lab supersedes classification systems in your field guides. Different authorities (usually committees) often disagree in their assessment of a taxon. Where one authority might recognize a full species, another might recognize it as a subspecies of some other species. Higher-level assignments are tricky too, e.g., some place the South American rheas in their own order (Rheiformes) whereas others lump it in with other ostrich-like birds in Struthioniformes. The American Ornithologists’ Union manages two committees (North American and South American Classification Committees) that review information and render decisions on which taxonomic proposals will be recognized. Each July, the AOU publishes updates to its official checklist. That checklist is commonly accessed via a massive book containing information on distribution, evolutionary affinities, etc.
