    Kimball, Rebecca T.; Oliveros, Carl H.; Wang, Ning; White, Noor D.; Barker, F. Keith; Field, Daniel J.; Ksepka, Daniel T.; Chesser, R. Terry; Moyle, Robert G.; Braun, Michael J.; Brumfield, Robb T.; Faircloth, Brant C.; Smith, Brian Tilston; Braun, Edward L. (2019)
    It has long been appreciated that analyses of genomic data (e.g., whole genome sequencing or sequence capture) have the potential to reveal the tree of life, but it remains challenging to move from sequence data to a clear ...
  • Systems biology as a framework to understand the physiological and endocrine bases of behavior and its evolution—From concepts to a case study in birds 
    Fuxjager, Matthew J.; Ryder, T. B.; Moody, Nicole M.; Alfonso, Camilo; Balakrishnan, Christopher N.; Barske, Julia; Bosholn, Mariane; Boyle, W.
