What is 1992 Peterson Auk 109 (1) 134 about?
This study investigates the phylogeny and molecular evolution rates of Aphelocoma jays using allozyme data. It finds that Scrub Jays and Unicolored Jays evolved independently from Gray-breasted Jays, with significant rate heterogeneity in molecular evolution suggesting that a molecular clock is not applicable for dating divergence events in this genus. The research emphasizes the importance of integrating phylogenetic information into ecological and behavioral studies of these birds.
