Introgression catalyzing plumage evolution and speciation in an Asian songbird complex.
Hybridization and introgression can promote speciation and phenotypic diversity. We investigated genomic divergence between two closely related Asian songbirds, Naumann's Thrush (Turdus naumanni, Nau) and Dusky Thrush (T. eunomus, Eun), and their evolutionary relationship with the geographically adjacent Red-throated T...
