Let’s all sing line birdies sing!

Fantastic.
I can just imagine the amount of renaming to come. The trend is making hash of plant naming. Every time a new model comes out, they get do it all over again. That way, nobody will know what is what without an “expert.” Meanwhile, the people who USE biological names will need a concordance just to talk about them.
I haven’t heard about this.
But when you go carrying

Ain’t nobody gonna listen

Somewhat off-topic, but ‘Global Big Day’ is tomorrow:

(There’s also an informal ‘Big Year’ competition about which a funny movie was made):

Interesting. Would be fascinating to see what parts of the genomes have to be present and conserved in all bird species.
I imagine the hoatzin is at or near the root of this genetic tree.
Do they map the birds back to amoebas?
Hey that’s a great idea for a moneymaker. Create a series of cards of the world’s most consequential communists. Have the picture on one side and their biography on the flip side ( must include the number of people they had murdered). Every Democrat will demand to own a set.
The two most beloved species are chickens and turkeys.
Considering that nothing has ever “evolved” as far as science can actually prove, this is quite a feat...
Hehehe 🤣
They missed a couple thousand species.
Seems like bad time for Researchers to proclaim they have solved their mystery to the Nth degree and now need a new quest i.e. funding.
Malo practically committed genocide against sparrows.
Bovine Excrement. Laughable on it’s face.
(Researchers merged genetic data from 9,239 bird species)
Proof that Dinosaurs coexist with us.
“ They missed a couple thousand species”
I didn’t see any info for the Auger billed clam sucker.
“ Considering that nothing has ever “evolved” as far as science can actually prove, this is quite a feat...”
Evolution is inferred and essentially a euphemism.
What is mapped are chemical similarities.
