“…3.3.1 (www.r-project.org). The yellow-breasted chat Icteria virens, a previously 'non-core' parulid (Lovette et al 2010), but now in its own family, Icteriidae (Barker et al 2013, 2015, Chesser et al 2017, was used as the host outgroup to root the tree. We focused our sampling of feather mites to two genera from the superfamily Analgoidea: Amerodectes and Proctophyllodes (both in family Proctophyllodidae).…”

“…The third, P. aff. trisetosus, was found on the yellow-breasted chat (now in Icteriidae; Chesser et al 2017). Our morphological analyses provided similar results, except for one potential additional species (P. breviquadratus Atyeo et Braasch, 1966) nested within the P. quadratus COI lineage (S. V.

“…trisetosus on Icteria virens is notable because: 1) feather mites from this host species have not been investigated before, and 2) placement of I. virens within Parulidae has been longdebated, with arguments of better placement within Icteridae (Sibley and Ahlquist 1982, Klicka et al 2000, Lovette and Bermingham 2002, Lovette et al 2010, or in its own family, Icteriidae (Barker et al 2013(Barker et al , 2015. Recently, I. virens has officially been placed in its own family, Icteriidae (Chesser et al 2017), which is more closely related to Icteridae than Parulidae (Barker et al 2013(Barker et al , 2015. If a symbiont's evolution reflects the evolution of their hosts, our evidence supports the recent placement within Icteriidae because P. aff.…”

Host–symbiont relationships are ubiquitous in nature, yet evolutionary and ecological processes that shape these intricate associations are often poorly understood. All orders of birds engage in symbioses with feather mites, which are ectosymbiotic arthropods that spend their entire life on hosts. Due to their permanent obligatory association with hosts, limited dispersal and primarily vertical transmission, we hypothesized that the cospeciation between feather mites and hosts within one avian family (Parulidae) would be perfect (strict cospeciation). We assessed cophylogenetic patterns and tested for congruence between species in two confamiliar feather mite genera (Proctophyllodidae: Proctophyllodes, Amerodectes) found on 13 species of migratory warblers (and one other closely related migratory species) in the eastern United States. Based on COI sequence data, we found three Proctophyllodes lineages and six Amerodectes lineages. Distance‐ and event‐based cophylogenetic analyses suggested different cophylogenetic trajectories of the two mite genera, and although some associations were significant, there was little overall evidence supporting strict cospeciation. Host switching is likely responsible for incongruent phylogenies. In one case, we documented prairie warblers Setophaga discolor harboring two mite species of the same genus. Most interestingly, we found strong evidence that host ecology may influence the likelihood of host switching occurring. For example, we documented relatively distantly related ground‐nesting hosts (ovenbird Seiurus aurocapilla and Kentucky warbler Geothlypis formosa) sharing a single mite species, while other birds are shrub/canopy or cavity nesters. Overall, our results suggest that cospeciation is not the case for feather mites and parulid hosts at this fine phylogenetic scale, and raise the question if cospeciation applies for other symbiotic systems involving hosts that have complex life histories. We also provide preliminary evidence that incorporating host ecological traits into cophylogenetic analyses may be useful for understanding how symbiotic systems have evolved.

“…New information on the distribution of birds in Guatemala updates the residency status of birds in the country (Eisermann & Avendaño 2007) as follows. Based on the taxonomic list of the AOU (1998 and supplements, including Chesser et al 2017), except the Sharp-shinned Hawk and Yellow-rumped Warbler species complexes (see Methods), the number of bird species recorded in Guatemala is 758. Of these, 23 lack documentation via specimens, photographs or sound-recordings.…”

“…They further show that this increase in size is accompanied by increases in bill sexual dimorphism, and suggest that larger, dimorphic bills might result from an increase in conflict experienced by the more competitive sex under these conditions. This pattern of increased bill dimorphism in coastal passerellids (family Passerelidae, sensu Chesser et al 2017) has since been shown a number of times (Greenberg and Olsen 2010, Greenberg and Danner 2013, Olsen et al 2013, Luther and Greenberg 2014. The same is true for saltmarsh specialist rails compared to their closest freshwater relative (Perkins et al 2009), and for toucans (Castro et al 2003), which have been shown to use their bills as thermoregulatory organs (Tattersall et al 2009).…”

A body of research by Russell Greenberg, Glenn Tattersall and their colleagues has proposed a corollary of Allen's Rule: that in freshwater‐limited environments, bill surface area increases with temperature. Increases in both population density and sexual dimorphism, however, could also explain increases in bill surface area. After controlling for the effects of a hybrid zone, we tested whether temperature or population density in the saltmarsh sparrow Ammospiza caudacuta, a sexually monomorphic estuarine specialist, explained greater variance in bill surface area. This allowed us to examine multiple potential selective mechanisms underlying the Greenberg–Tattersall corollary. We found that saltmarsh sparrows follow the general pattern of the corollary (larger bills in warmer summer climates) but only after controlling for population density. The relationship between bill surface area and temperature varied inversely with population density. We discuss the relative abilities of sexual selection and ecological competition to explain these results.
