“…I should stress that despite differences in style (i.e., diagonal vs. rectangular branches) and position (one is rotated 90 degrees to the other) both the cladogram in Figure 1A and that of Smith [18] show the very same phylogenetic relationships. Figure 1: Clockwise, from top to bottom: Hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships within Sulidae, as recovered in the analyses by (A) Smith [18], (B) Friesen and Anderson [27], and (C) Patterson et al [19]. I think it is pertinent here to explain why I chose the sequencing method.…”

“…Friesen and Anderson [27] and Patterson et al [19] published hypotheses based on, respectively, 807 base pairs of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b sequences and five nuclear intron loci plus the complete mitochondrial To avoid confusion, since I am not concerned with formally revising the taxonomy of Sulidae, no names were proposed for those 'hypothetical' subfamilies in the scheme immediately above. Furthermore, with respect to Abbott's Booby, the generic name alone was omitted by following the suggestion of Christoffersen [28] that, in case of redundancy, the name of the most inclusive taxon should be only followed by the name, in square brackets, of the least inclusive taxon.…”

“…Patterson et al [19] argued that incomplete lineage sorting and long-branch attraction have probably confounded the phylogenetic placements of Abbott's Booby as the sister-taxon to the Morus clade in the analysis by Friesen and Anderson [27]. Nevertheless, even regarding this relationship as 'less likely' due to problems in using mitochondrial DNA alone to infer phylogenetic relationships, there remains the conflict between Smith's [18] and Patterson et al 's [19] cladograms.…”

Reflections on the Phylogenetic Position and Generic Status of Abbott's Booby 'Papasula abbotti' (Aves, Sulidae)

Introduction: I here comment on the phylogenetic position and generic status of the rare and threatened Abbott's Booby Papasula abbotti. I argue that the current genus name of this species was erected from an incorrect interpretation of a phylogenetic hypothesis and a straightforward decision about its generic placement cannot be made, given the conflicts regarding the species' closer phylogenetic relationships.

Speciation in seabirds: why are there so many species…and why aren’t there more?

Speciation-the multiplication of species through the evolution of barriers to reproduction between populations-plays a central role in evolution since it enables two or more populations to adapt and evolve independently. However, mechanisms of speciation are notoriously difficult to study and poorly understood. Seabirds provide useful models to investigate factors that may promote or inhibit speciation because their ecology and evolutionary genetics are relatively well understood. Here I review population genetic studies of seabirds to test the importance of six factors with the potential to disrupt gene flow enough to result in speciation. Over 200 studies, including over 100 species, have been published to date. Most show evidence of restrictions in gene flow. Physical (geographic) barriers to dispersal are clearly important: conspecific populations that are separated by large expanses of land or ice show evidence of restricted gene flow, and sister species often are separated by physical barriers to gene flow. However, many species of seabirds show evidence of restrictions in gene flow in the absence of physical barriers to dispersal. Study results indicate that differences in ocean regimes, nonbreeding distributions, foraging distributions during the breeding season, and breeding phenology also can disrupt gene flow enough to lead to speciation. Of these, physical isolation and differences in ocean regime appear to be the most important. Philopatry alone may be sufficient to result in reproductive isolation, but usually it acts in combination with other barriers to gene flow. The effects of many other potential influences on gene flow need to be investigated more thoroughly, including colony distribution/location, wind, interspecific interactions, environmental stability/variability, variation in phenotypic traits associated with mate choice (morphology, behaviour, vocalisations) and intrinsic (genomic) incompatabilities. Recent advances in genome sequencing, especially if used in combination with ecological tools such as geolocators and new methods for data interpretation, are opening exiting new avenues to test the importance of various behavioural, ecological, demographic and genomic factors in reducing or promoting gene flow and so affecting speciation.
