TiF Update June 6
There have been some minor changes in the order of the Acrocephalidae based on Arbabi et al. (2014). Note that the Thick-billed Warbler is now placed in Phragamaticola. Also, the genus name Titiza Billberg, 1828 replaces Calamodus Kaup, 1829 for priority reasons. Both have the same type: schoenobaenus.

Nesillas

Fuchs J., Lemoine D., Parra J.L., Pons J.-M., Raherilalao M.J., Prys-Jones, R.P., Thébaud C., Warren B., Goodman, S.M., accepted. Long-distance dispersal and inter-island colonization across the western Malagasy Region explain diversification in brush-warblers (Passeriformes : Nesillas). Biological Journal of the Linnean Society

Abstract

This study examines the colonization history and phylogeography of the brush-warblers (genus Nesillas), a genus of passerines endemic to islands of the western Indian Ocean (Madagascar, Comoros and Aldabra). The phylogeny of all recognized Nesillas taxa was reconstructed employing Bayesian phylogenetic methods and divergence times were estimated using a range of substitution rates and clock assumptions. Spatiotemporal patterns of population expansion were inferred using Spread, and niches of different lineages were compared using ecological niche modelling. Our results indicate that taxa endemic to the Comoros are paraphyletic and that the two endemic species on Madagascar (N. typica and N. lantzii) are not sister taxa. The brush-warblers started to diversify about 1.6 Myr, commencing with the separation of the clade formed by two species endemic to the Comoros (N. brevicaudata and N. mariae) from the rest of the genus. The lineages leading to the two Malagasy species diverged about 0.9 Myr; each with significantly different modern ecological niches and the subject of separate demographic processes. Patterns of diversification and endemism in Nesillas were shaped by multiple long distance dispersal events and inter-island colonization, a recurring pattern for different lineages on western Indian Ocean islands. The diversification dynamics observed for Nesillas are also consistent with the taxon cycle hypothesis.

Looks like another layer of the onion of knowledge has been peeled away to reveal yet more layers beneath! I've been anticipating this paper keenly since Per mentioned it at the British Bird Fair in August....o:)

A gap in the paper, giving to the complex an uncomplete figure is that there are no samples taken in Italy and even worse from Sicily, that are rigth in the middle of the distribution range and that sure would have given some important information, chiefly as Sicily is kind of bridge between Europe and N Africa and that Italy (incuding Sardinia) works as a demarcation WALL, in some cases, or a connection BRIDGE,in other, between MANY taxa....

However, of course, as we could wait for such a team, a GREAT and outstanding work that will give lot of headache to birders

Well, a new field of study for my next researches B :)B :)B :););):smoke::smoke:
