1/ Remember when Ted Cruz went to Cancún as the Texas power grid failed? It wasn't just the people of TX left behind, it was also the wildlife. Out now @natecoevo.nature.com, our paper led by @mstager.bsky.social & @treeswallows.bsky.social documents how bad the storms were for birds.

A new UMass study in @natecoevo.nature.com has found how many purple martins died in The Great Texas Freeze of 2021—and how long recovery may take.

Fig. 1 from the article: Three potential processes resulting in two species with different nonbreeding strategies: (A) nonbreeding adaptive divergence arises after complete reproductive isolation. (B) Diverging lineages evolve nonbreeding divergence during a period of allopatry. Scenario (C) is a proposed model of sympatric speciation via the evolution of novel nonbreeding strategies. Alternatively, in scenario (D), divergence in nonbreeding strategies arises but does not precipitate reproductive isolation.
NEW MINI-REVIEW: examining how non-breeding ecology and migration shape reproductive isolation and population structure, synthesizing recent findings on song variation, habitat effects, migration shifts, and hybrid fitness.
