Parulidae (1 Viewer)

Ergaticus

Barrera-Guzmán, Milá, Sánchez-González & Navarro-Sigüenza (in press). Speciation in an avian complex endemic to the mountains of Middle America (Ergaticus, Aves: Parulidae). Mol Phylogenet Evol. [abstract]
Based on both genetic and phenotypic divergence, we believe that E. r. melanauris (clade 3 lineage) may represent a separate species as suggested previously (Navarro-Sigüenza and Peterson, 2004) but additional samples from SMO [= Sierra Madre Occidental] will be needed to confirm this.

[Monroe & Sibley 1993 also listed E (ruber) melanauris Black-eared Warbler as a possible species.]

PS. For anyone needing an insurance tick... ;)
The examples of melanauris used in the study were from Reserva Chara Pinta (Tufted Jay Preserve), Sinaloa - on the Durango Highway near El Palmito. The wife and I had no trouble finding the species(?) there in May 2007 - at Mesa de los Alisos, above Barranca San Diego (Rancho Liebre).​

For those with full access, does the two lineages within ruber that are mentioned by the abstract correspond to the grey-cheeked vs white-cheeked groups mentioned in Clements?

Thanks

Yes, Niels. Of the three lineages identified within E ruber, clade 3 = Ergaticus (ruber) melanauris 'Black-eared Warbler' = Clements's Cardellina rubra melanauris Red Warbler (Gray-cheeked).

But within the white-cheeked group (clades 1 & 2), "Current taxonomy is insufficient to assign the recognized subspecies E. r. rowleyi and E. r. ruber to clade 2 or clade 1 lineages, and this will require additional analyses of phenotypic traits such as plumage coloration".

What were the estimates of divergence date &/or genetic distance like?
Click to expand...
"Percent divergence values among populations (corrected for intrapopulation polymorphism) ranged from 0.5% between clades 1 and 2, and 1.9% between clades 3 and 4... E. r. melanauris (clade 3) diverged from other E. ruber subspecies by an average 1.0%, and average percent divergence between E. versicolor (clade 4) and all E. ruber clades was 1.7%.

...The BEAST analysis using the 2.07 % rate calibration suggests that main divergence events occurred between 1.06 and 0.21 million years ago..."

I foresee comments saying that those observations have not been published in a peer reviewed paper ...

'Carbonated Warbler'

Baltz & Latta 1998 (BNA Online: Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina))...
Audubon described and illustrated 2 birds taken near Henderson, KY, in May 1811 as "Carbonated" Warbler (D. carbonata), thought to be hybrids between Blackpoll and Cape May warblers by Cockrum (1952), but later convincingly shown to be first-year male Cape May Warblers by Parkes (1985).

...bird described in early 19th century as Helinaia carbonata ("Carbonated Warbler") may have been a hybrid of this species with D. striata, but generally considered to be a first-summer male of present species.
