Abstract:Differences in life history can cause co-distributed species to display discordant population genetic patterns. In high-latitude animals, evolutionary processes may be especially influenced by long-distance seasonal migration, a widespread adaptation to seasonality. Although migratory movements are intuitively linked to dispersal, their evolutionary genetic consequences remain poorly understood. Using ∼1700 genomes from 35 co-distributed boreal-breeding bird species, we reveal that most long-distance migrants … Show more
