Our paper on the genomics of vocal rhythm in birds is out in Nature Communications! We assembled a tinkerbird reference genome and using 135 whole genomes in a hybrid zone, we found that rhythm speed and stability are associated with genes that affect human speech. nature.com/articles/s4146…

1. Super interesting new review study (with really cool graphics) about how climate change is shifting the range of many species around the world…

🧵Quick thread with some of their cool figures…

Mating between different species has often been considered an evolutionary dead end, but a study in longwing butterflies suggests that such hybridization could underlie the origins of a new species go.nature.com/3w6jvjr
