bird clades. While multiple mechanisms have been proposed for this rule, the combination of the association of black skin with white or no plumage, as well as high UV irradiance, suggest that it is best explained in birds by a photoprotective function. In line with this function are the ...
We also find that the common ancestor of the dodo and solitaire diverged from Caloenas around 18 Mya (95 % CI 13.6–23.2 Mya), rather than during the Middle or latest Eocene (33.6 Mya [5] and 42.6 Mya [13]). Although our estimated divergence dates are more recent than those proposed ...
