The European Robin is a small passerine bird associated with woodlands of Eurasia and North Africa. Despite being relatively widespread and common, little is known of the species’ breeding biology and genetic diversity. We used Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to develop and characterize microsatellite markers for the European Robin, designing three multiplex panels to amplify 14 microsatellite loci. The level of polymorphism and its value for assessing parentage and genetic structure was estimated based on 119 individuals, including seven full families and 69 unrelated individuals form Poland’s Białowieża Primaeval Forest and an additional location in Portugal. All markers appeared to be highly variable. Analysis at the family level confirmed a Mendelian manner of inheritance in the investigated loci. Genetic data also revealed evidence for extra-pair paternity in one family. The set of markers that we developed are proven to be valuable for analysis of the breeding biology and population genetics of the European Robin.

“…Taken together, we have conducted the first extensive range-wide population genetic study on the warbling vireo complex to test the congruence of the subspecies designations to genetic data and provide evidence for another potential case of cryptic speciation within the genus Vireo . We found a main west – east division for both mtDNA ( cyt b ) and microsatellites, a pattern observed in other widely distributed North American passerines (Milot et al ., 2000; Clegg et al ., 2003; Lait & Burg, 2013; Graham et al ., 2020). The large genetic distances in mtDNA (4.0%) and abrupt split along the Great Plains suggest that the eastern genetic group was isolated in a separate glacial refugium from the two western genetic groups during the Pleistocene (Rising, 1983).…”

Cryptic species are closely related taxa that are difficult to separate morphologically, but are reproductively isolated. Here we examine the warbling vireo complex (Vireo gilvus), a widespread songbird speculated to be comprised of more than one cryptic species. We included three taxa within the complex: two of the western (Vireo gilvus swainsonii and Vireo gilvus brewsteri) subspecies and the single eastern (Vireo gilvus gilvus) subspecies. We used mtDNA and microsatellite loci to assess the congruence of genetic data to the current subspecies boundaries. We then incorporated bioacoustic, morphometric, and ecological niche modeling analyses to further examine differences. We found two genetic groups with mtDNA analysis. Microsatellite analyses revealed four genetic groups: an eastern group, a Black Hills group and two western groups that do not agree with current western subspecies boundaries based on phenotypic data. Our results suggest that eastern and western warbling vireos have been reproductively isolated for a long period of time and therefore, may be best treated as separate species; however, more research into areas of contact to examine the presence of hybridization is advised before making a taxonomic revision. Differences between the two western genetic groups appear less clear, requiring additional research.
