Homogeneous external morphology largely hid the phylogenetic complexity and richness of these genera, but their species totals are not yet fixed several populations presently accepted at species level need further substantiation.Ī new species of Phylloscopus warbler, which we name Phylloscopus calciatilis Limestone Leaf Warbler, is described from central and northern Vietnam and central and northern Laos it probably also breeds in southernmost China. This enlarging of species number emerges from due application of the results of bioacoustic and molecular genetic analyses to passerine systematics. burkii, a previously merged taxon swarm, has been split into six partly allopatric, partly sympatric species. Within the area under consideration, this review records an increase in the number of Phylloscopus species from the 33 in Mayr et al. Their reliability relative to secondary contacts, hybridization, introgression, bioacoustics and molecular genetics is discussed in terms of current species concepts, mainly the Biological Species Concept, and certain previously unpublished data are added in support of taxonomic decisions made. Recent and proposed taxonomic changes to the warbler genera Phylloscopus and Seicercus are reviewed within the geographic scope of this series. (2007), reanalyzed by Bayesian inference in three partitions (by locus). 6 Family Phylloscopidae based on concatenated nuclear MB and mitochondrial cytochrome b and 12S sequence data, based on Olsson et al. davisoni Olsson et al., 2005 Päckert et al., 2009) P. reguloides, third previously subspecies of P. ogilviegranti (two former previously subspecies of P. proregulus chloronotus nensis in latter study] Martens et al., 2004) P. proregulus Alström et al., 1997 Martens et al., 2004) P. proregulus chloronotus Martens et al., 2004) P. brehmii) (Helbig et al., 1996 Salomon et al., 1997 Helbig et al., 2001 Bensch et al., 2002 Salomon et al., 2003) P. ibericus (previously treated as subspecies of P.
Moreover, taxonomic revisions have led to the recognition of several new species: P. occisinensis (Martens et al., 2008) and P. No fewer than six species new to science have been described in that period: P.
The genera Phylloscopus and Seicercus have undergone dramatic taxonomic changes in the past 20 years, due to studies of especially vocalizations and DNA. This study lays a foundation for an array of future studies of character evolution, biogeography, and evolutionary history of the family. Divergence time analysis based on DNA substitution rates suggests a mid-Miocene origin of the family. In light of deep divergence, we assign the Malagasy Ploceus species to their own genus, Nelicurvius.
A major feature of our results is broad polyphyly of Ploceus: Asian Ploceus species should retain the generic name, whereas African Ploceus, together with Anaplectes, should be placed in Malimbus. Analysis of these data offered strong support for monophyly of the family and revealed seven distinct clades within Ploceidae. No comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis regarding relationships of weaverbirds has been produced, however, so we developed a first extensive phylogeny for the family Ploceidae, based on a multilocus dataset of three mitochondrial loci and four nuclear markers. Weaverbirds are a diverse passerine group with species diversity concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa.
