Guide to the families and genera of New World nine-primaried oscines (superfamily

Emberizoidea) following the new phylogenetic taxonomy.

-----Based on the taxonomy proposed by:

Barker, F. K., K. J. Burns, J. Klicka, S. M. Lanyon, and I. J. Lovette. 2013. Going to extremes: Contrasting rates of diversification in a recent radiation of New World passerine birds. Systematic Biology 62:298-320.

Slides assembled by MSB Birds’ Journal Club at UNM: Andrea N. Chavez, Elizabeth J. Beckman, Natalie A. Wright, C. Jonathan Schmitt, Cole J. Wolf, Matthew J. Baumann, Andrew B. Johnson, & Christopher C. Witt.

Purpose: to provide a general overview of the diversity of this spectacular clade, particularly to inspire evolutionary comparative study.

Image sources are either (i) credited in the slide or slide-notes, (ii) credited with text embedded in the image, (iii) property of one of the authors, or (iv) in the public domain.

One possible backbone phylogeny (Barker et al. 2013 Fig. 2)

Note: There are serious challenges with the phylogenetic resolution at the base of the Emberizoidea; these will require large scale genomic data to resolve (Barker et al. 2015)
