Marshall H, Baker A, Grant A
Gene
. 2013 Jan;
517(1):37-45.
PMID: 23313296
We describe whole mitochondrial genome sequences from four subspecies of the common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), and compare them to 31 publicly available mitochondrial genome sequences from other Passeriformes. Rates and...

Buehler D, Verkuil Y, Tavares E, Baker A
Immunogenetics
. 2012 Dec;
65(3):211-25.
PMID: 23239370
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) includes highly polymorphic gene families encoding proteins crucial to the vertebrate acquired immune system. Classical MHC class I (MHCI) genes code for molecules expressed on...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2012 Sep;
279(1747):4617-25.
PMID: 22977150
The origin and timing of the diversification of modern birds remains controversial, primarily because phylogenetic relationships are incompletely resolved and uncertainty persists in molecular estimates of lineage ages. Here, we...

Mol Phylogenet Evol
. 2012 Jul;
65(2):631-41.
PMID: 22842291
Molecular phylogenies of Charadriiformes based on mtDNA genes and one to three nuclear loci do not support the traditional placement of Pluvialis in the plovers (Charadriidae), assigning it instead to...

Mila B, Tavares E, Munoz Saldana A, Karubian J, Smith T, Baker A
PLoS One
. 2012 Jul;
7(7):e40541.
PMID: 22815761
The Amazonian avifauna remains severely understudied relative to that of the temperate zone, and its species richness is thought to be underestimated by current taxonomy. Recent molecular systematic studies using...

Tavares E, Goncalves P, Miyaki C, Baker A
PLoS One
. 2011 Dec;
6(12):e28543.
PMID: 22163311
Background: Towards lower latitudes the number of recognized species is not only higher, but also phylogeographic subdivision within species is more pronounced. Moreover, new genetically isolated populations are often described...

Caparroz R, Miyaki C, Baker A
Genet Mol Biol
. 2011 Jun;
34(1):161-4.
PMID: 21637560
More than 90% of birds are socially monogamous, although genetic studies indicate that many are often not sexually monogamous. In the present study, DNA fingerprinting was used to estimate the...

Pereira S, Baker A
Genet Mol Biol
. 2011 Jun;
33(3):583-6.
PMID: 21637436
The phylogenetic placement of the monotypic crab plover Dromasardeola (Aves, Charadriiformes) remains controversial. Phylogenetic analysis of anatomical and behavioral traits using phenetic and cladistic methods of tree inference have resulted...

Baker A, Tavares E, Elbourne R
Mol Ecol Resour
. 2011 May;
9 Suppl s1:257-68.
PMID: 21564985
General criticisms of a single mtDNA gene barcodes include failure to identify newly evolved species, use of species-delimitation thresholds, effects of selective sweeps and chance occurrence of reciprocal monophyly within...

Mol Ecol Resour
. 2011 May;
9(5):1415-8.
PMID: 21564924
We isolated and tested 16 microsatellite loci in black-tailed godwits from the Netherlands (Limosa limosa limosa), and from Australasia (subspecies melanuroides). One locus was monomorphic, two loci had null-alleles and...
