Convergent evolution of 'creepers' in the Hawaiian honeycreeper radiation

Reding, Dawn M.; Foster, Jeffrey T.; James, Helen F.; Pratt, H. Douglas; Fleischer, Robert C. (2009)

Natural selection plays a fundamental role in the ecological theory of adaptive radiation. A prediction of this theory is the convergent evolution of traits in lineages experiencing similar environments. The Hawaiian ...
Mitochondrial Genomes of the United States Distribution of Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) Reveal a Major Phylogeographic Break at the Great Plains Suture Zone

Reding, Dawn M.; Castaneda-Rico, Susette; Shirazi, Sabrina; Hofman, Courtney A.; Cancellare, Imogene A.; Lance, Stacey L.; Beringer, Jeff; Clark, William R.; Maldonado, Jesus E. (2021)

We examined phylogeographic structure in gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) across the United States to identify the location of secondary contact zone(s) between eastern and western lineages and investigate the possibility ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of genetic diversity in an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, the Hawaii Akepa (Loxops coccineus coccineus)

Reding, Dawn M.; Freed, Leonard A.; Cann, Rebecca L.; Fleischer, Robert C. (2010)

As a result of disease, habitat destruction, and other anthropogenic factors, the Hawaii Akepa (Loxops coccineus coccineus) currently occupies <10% of its original range and exists in five disjunct populations, raising ...
