What is Comparative phylogeography and genetic structure of Vanuatu birds: Control region variation in a rail, a dove, and a passerine about?
We examined variation in mitochondrial control region (Domain I) sequences in three distantly related species of birds found on multiple islands in Vanuatu: the BuV-banded Rail Gallirallus philippensis (n D 21, 433 bp), the Emerald Dove Chalcophaps indica (n D 21, 513 bp), and the Streaked Fantail Rhipidura spilodera (n D 17, 326 bp). Nucleotide and haplotype diversity were similar in all three species and showed little to no geographic structure within Vanuatu. Estimates of demographic parameters, tests for excess rare alleles, and the structure of both haplotype networks and pairwise mismatch distributions support a hypothesis of recent colonization and subsequent expansion in C. indica and R. spilodera but not in G. philippensis. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that G. philippensis samples from Vanuatu are polyphyletic, and further indicate that this species has had a more complex history of colonization than do the other two species. Estimated divergence times of alleles sampled in Vanuatu suggest there may be slight diVerences among species in the timing of colonization of Vanuatu despite diVerences in Xight ability and presumed dispersal ability. In all three species, current p
