Phylogeography of a Widespread North American Migratory Songbird (Setophaga ruticilla)
Genetic analyses for many widespread North American species have revealed significant east–west differentiation, indicating that many survived through the Pleistocene in 2 glacial refugia—1 in the eastern and 1 in the western part of the continent. It remains unclear, however, whether other areas ma...

Genetic analyses for many widespread North American species have revealed significant east–west differentiation, indicating that many survived through the Pleistocene in 2 glacial refugia—1 in the eastern and 1 in the western part of the continent.
