Song divergence indicates an unclear relationship between the Neotropical and Nearctic Horned Larks
Abstract Background Some studies have indicated that the Horned Larks (Eremophila alpestris) should be considered as a species complex. Recently it split into four species or clades and seven subclades based on genetic, morphological, and biogeographic data. However, other aspects like song divergen...
