“…In P. palustris , the deep divergence between the lineages from north‐eastern ( P. p. brevirostris ) and south‐western ( P. p. hypermelaenus ) China suggested by Johansson et al . () was supported by our results. For all three species, both the mitochondrial and the nuclear data sets strongly support the presence of a major divergence between the northern and southern populations.…”

Aim The location of zoogeographical boundaries in eastern China has long been the subject of debate. To identify any north/south genetic divergence between the Palaearctic and Sino-Japanese realms proposed by previous studies, we conducted a comparative phylogeographical study involving three passerine species with wide latitudinal distributions in eastern China. Location Eastern China.Methods Two mitochondrial genes and three nuclear introns were amplified and sequenced. Population structures were analysed using intra-specific phylogeny, tcs networks, AMOVA and structure inferences. We tested for evidence of genetic barriers based on pairwise differences. Lineage divergences, demographic dynamics and gene flow between lineages were estimated using Bayesian methods.Results A congruent north/south phylogeographical divergence was identified for three species. A geographical barrier was inferred at c. 40°N in eastern China. The population sizes of the northern and southern lineages have both been stable through the late Pleistocene, while multiple divergences were inferred during the early and middle Pleistocene.Main conclusions Our results suggest a general phylogeographical break in north-eastern China, coinciding with the Palaearctic/Sino-Japanese boundary. Physical blocking of the Yan Mountains and fragmentation of suitable habitat during glacial stages between the north and south probably acted together to provide long-lasting barrier effects. Our comparative phylogeographical approach demonstrates that the Palaearctic/Sino-Japanese boundary may represent a gene-flow barrier even within widespread species.

“…We sampled populations of P. major minor (Zuojia, Xiaolongmen, and Dongzhai), P. major commixtus (Qiandaohu), and P. major hainanus (Diaoluoshan) in China and P. major major in Europe (Figure 1; Kvist et al 2003;Päckert et al 2005;Pavlova et al 2006;Zhao et al 2012;Johansson et al 2013). The actual body sizes of the tits and their subspecies (Li et al 1982;Cramp and Perrins 1993) are provided in Supplementary Table 3, as a recent study has shown that egg rejection is more likely to evolve when the parasite is relatively large compared with its host (Medina and Langmore 2015).…”

“…After successful colonisation of plateau habitats, ancestors of extant endemic species underwent significant morphological adaptations to the open alpine habitats that obscured their phylogenetic affinities in such a way that traditional systematics had misplaced a few of them even into the wrong taxonomic family. The Tibetan Ground Tit (Pseudopodoces humilis, Paridae) had been wrongly placed in the Corvidae (James et al 2003;Johansson et al 2013). The Tibetan Rosefinch Carpodacus roborowskii had long been in a monotypic genus of its own (Kozlowia) and considered a close relative of the alpine and arctic Leucosticte mountain finches or of Montifringilla snowfinches (Clement 1999); however, this species was recently shown to be firmly nested in the ''true rosefinches'' of genus Carpodacus (Zuccon et al 2012;Tietze et al 2013 ; Fig.…”

As one of the most prominent topographical features on Earth, the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP) underwent a long and complex history of the QTP uplift from the collision of the Indian and the Eurasian plates to the present. At its southern and southeastern margins, it is flanked by the most significant hotspots of organismic diversity of the northern hemisphere (including birds), the Sino-Himalayan mountain forests. In contrast, the central plateau region itself harbours species-poor communities but also a good number of endemics that presumably evolved from rather ancient (pre-Pleistocene) phylogenetic lineage splits. We discuss the evolutionary history of QTP passerines from a twofold perspective including examples from our own research. First, we provide an overview of those alpine QTP endemics that represent late Miocene and Pliocene lineage splits, i.e. early colonisations to the central alpine QTP region. As an example, true rosefinches (genus Carpodacus) presumably evolved from a forested eastern QTP centre of origin and colonised the (semi-)open plateau habitats several times independently. Second, we discuss younger speciation events corresponding to phylogeographic east-west divides along the southern QTP margin. A multidisciplinary approach combining genetic, bioacoustic and morphological markers shed new light on the phylogenetic relationships of Pnoepyga wren babblers and on the intraspecific subdivision of the Buff-barred Warbler (Phylloscopus pulcher).
