Phylogenetic comparative analysis of functional morphology sheds light on the evolution of seasonal migration in nightingale-thrushes (Turdidae: Catharus) by Matthew R. Halley, Therese A. Catanach, John Klicka, Jason D. Weckstein

“…While acknowledging that unknown factors (e.g., differential extinction) may confound interpretation, our results suggest that (1) migratory behavior and its functional morphology are fundamentally linked; (2) short-distance or elevational migration (not long-distance) was the ancestral state of Catharus; (3) short-distance migration was the evolutionary precursor of long-distance migration; and (4) the short-distance migrant, Hermit Thrush (C. guttatus), may be in relative phenotypic (ecological) stasis. …”
