Abstract in brief

  • The study uses genome sequencing and advanced phylogenomic tools to clarify the evolutionary relationships among True Geese species, resolving past disagreements about their classification and divergence times.
  • The analysis found two main lineages within True Geese, corresponding to the genera Anser and Branta, with strong support for these groupings and additional sub-lineages, such as the White-cheeked and Red-breasted Geese within Branta.
  • Rapid speciation and hybridization, especially in the genus Anser, played significant roles in their evolutionary history, mainly occurring during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, making their phylogenetic relationships complex and challenging to untangle previously.]

Came across this figure I made some time ago. The phylogeny of geese with names. Based on this paper: https://t.co/ATTZtRcCF4 The relationships between taiga bean goose, tundra bean goose and pink-footed goose will probably need an update though.

Always nice to look back at some "old" publications. Here is my first phylogenetic goose paper that guided a lot of my consequent research. A tree of geese: A phylogenomic perspective on the evolutionary history of True Geese https://t.co/Oz2LlgyKfl #ornithology #genomics https://t.co/IzNRMusH6r

A suitable place to start is the paper "A tree of geese: A phylogenomic perspective on the evolutionary history of True Geese" by Ottenburghs et al. (there are 10 authors in total), published in the journal "Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution" in 2016. These people sequenced the genomes
