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...
