{"title":"Updating splits, lumps, and shuffles: Reconciling GenBank names with standardized avian taxonomies","authors":"Peter A. Hosner, Min Zhao, R. Kimball, E. Braun, J. G. Burleigh","doi":"10.1093/ornithology/ukac045","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithology/ukac045","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Biodiversity research has advanced by testing expectations of ecological and evolutionary hypotheses through the linking of large-scale genetic, distributional, and trait datasets. The rise of molecular systematics over the past 30 years has resulted in a wealth of DNA sequences from around the globe. Yet, advances in molecular systematics also have created taxonomic instability, as new estimates of evolutionary relationships and interpretations of species limits have required widespread scientific name changes. Taxonomic instability, colloquially “splits, lumps, and shuffles,” presents logistical challenges to large-scale biodiversity research because (1) the same species or sets of populations may be listed under different names in different data sources, or (2) the same name may apply to different sets of populations representing different taxonomic concepts. Consequently, distributional and trait data are often difficult to link directly to primary DNA sequence data without extensive and time-consuming curation. Here, we present RANT: Reconciliation of Avian NCBI Taxonomy. RANT applies taxonomic reconciliation to standardize avian taxon names in use in NCBI GenBank, a primary source of genetic data, to a widely used and regularly updated avian taxonomy: eBird/Clements. Of 14,341 avian species/subspecies names in GenBank, 11,031 directly matched an eBird/Clements; these link to more than 6 million nucleotide sequences. For the remaining unmatched avian names in GenBank, we used Avibase's system of taxonomic concepts, taxonomic descriptions in Cornell's Birds of the World, and DNA sequence metadata to identify corresponding eBird/Clements names. Reconciled names linked to more than 600,000 nucleotide sequences, ∼9% of all avian sequences on GenBank. Nearly 10% of eBird/Clements names had nucleotide sequences listed under 2 or more GenBank names. Our taxonomic reconciliation is a first step towards rigorous and open-source curation of avian GenBank sequences and is available at GitHub, where it can be updated to correspond to future annual eBird/Clements taxonomic updates. LAY SUMMARY 23% of avian names on GenBank do not match eBird/Clements, a widely used standardized avian taxonomy. More than 600,000 nucleotide sequences on GenBank are associated with names that do not match eBird/Clements. 10% of eBird/Clements names have nucleotide sequences listed under multiple GenBank names. We provide an open-source taxonomic reconciliation to mitigate difficulties associated with non-standardized name use for GenBank sequences.

{"title":"No evidence that endohelminth parasites cause selection against hybrid orioles across the Baltimore–Bullock's Oriole hybrid zone","authors":"Vanya G. Rohwer, Lea M Callan, J. Kinsella, Russell A. Ligon","doi":"10.1093/ornithology/ukac044","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithology/ukac044","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The Baltimore–Bullock's Oriole hybrid zone is one of the best-studied avian hybrid zones in North America, yet our understanding of the causes of selection against hybrids remains poor. We examine if endohelminth parasites may cause selection against hybrid orioles but found no evidence for this hypothesis. Of the 139 male orioles we examined, 43 individuals contained endohelminth parasites from at least 1 of these groups: Cestoda, Acanthocephala, or Nematoda. Across the hybrid zone, Baltimore Orioles (Icterus galbula) and Bullock's Orioles (I. bullockii) differed in their parasite communities, such that Baltimore Orioles frequently contained both Acanthocephala and Cestoda parasites whereas Bullock's Orioles primarily contained Cestoda parasites. Despite these differences in parasite communities between parental species, the frequency of hybrid orioles with parasites was similar to parentals, suggesting that hybrids were as susceptible to endohelminth parasites as parentals. Using a subset of 99 adult male orioles, we explored how parasites may be associated with the expression of orange carotenoid-based plumage in hybrids and parentals. Associations between carotenoid-based plumage color and parasites were most strongly expressed in Bullock's Orioles, but patterns were subtle and counterintuitive because individuals with parasites often had more enhanced color measures compared to individuals without parasites. Taken together, these data suggest that endohelminth parasites impose little fitness costs to male orioles on the breeding grounds and likely do not cause selection against hybrids. LAY SUMMARY Baltimore and Bullock's orioles regularly hybridize where their breeding ranges overlap in the Great Plains, USA. Despite years of study, we have a poor understanding of why hybrids perform poorly. We examined if hybrid orioles might suffer from internal parasitic worms, as hybrids may have compromised immune systems making them more susceptible to parasites. We examined for lethal effects of parasites inferred through different ratios of infected vs. uninfected orioles and we examined non-lethal effects inferred through the quality of their orange plumage color. Our findings suggest that while Baltimore and Bullock's orioles differ in their parasite communities, internal parasitic worms present little to no costs to hybrid orioles.

{"title":"Nestling Savannah Sparrows and Tree Swallows differ in their sensitivity to weather","authors":"N. T. Wheelwright, C. R. Freeman-Gallant, R. Mauck","doi":"10.1093/ornithology/ukac032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithology/ukac032","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) and Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) breed and forage in the same habitat on Kent Island, a boreal island in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, but respond differently to the same weather conditions. The 2 passerines are similar in body size but because Tree Swallows depend upon small flying insects captured on the wing, they may be more sensitive to weather than Savannah Sparrows, which forage on insects and seeds on the ground and in shrubs and trees. To compare how reproductive success in the 2 species was affected by weather conditions, we took advantage of an 18-year dataset and used a model-building approach that controlled for year, adult sex and age, and field where they nested. We focused on 3 measures of reproductive success (hatching success, fledging success, and nestling condition) and different time periods (3- to 18-day time windows) before hatching or fledging. The responses of the 2 species differed in magnitude and direction. In Tree Swallows, adding weather variables to the basic model increased the explanatory power of fixed effects by 19.1%, illustrating the swallows' sensitivity to weather. In contrast, in Savannah Sparrows, the addition of weather variables only increased the model's explanatory power by 0.4% and the proportion of variation attributed to fixed factors by only 1.5%, which reflected the species' hardiness in the face of inclement weather. Our results suggest that how a bird species forages and the nature of its prey may influence its sensitivity to weather and indicate that increased rainfall, strong winds and other events associated with climate change may affect Tree Swallows and other aerial insectivores more than ground-foraging birds such as Savannah Sparrows. LAY SUMMARY Nestling Savannah Sparrows and Tree Swallows, which occur in the same habitat on Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada, were affected differently by the same weather conditions, likely because of differences in the way their parents forage for food. Nestling Tree Swallows, whose parents depend on capturing small insects in flight, were highly sensitive to rain and wind, whereas weather had relatively little effect on nestling Savannah Sparrows, which forage mainly on the ground. As a consequence, Tree Swallows and other aerial insectivores may be especially vulnerable to climate change.

Kaminski, Philip Lavretsky","doi":"10.1093/ornithology/ukac034","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ornithology/ukac034","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) duck is a ubiquitous and socio-economically important game bird in North America. Despite their generally abundant midcontinent population, Mallards in eastern North America are declining, which may be partially explained by extensive hybridization with human-released domestically derived game-farm Mallards. We investigated the genetic composition of Mallards in the middle and lower Mississippi flyway, key wintering regions for the species. We found that nearly 30% of wild Mallards carried mitochondrial (mtDNA) haplotypes derived from domestic Mallards present in North America, indicating that the individuals had female game-farm Mallard lineage in their past; however, nuclear results identified only 4% of the same sample set as putative hybrids. Recovering 30% of samples with Old World (OW) A mtDNA haplotypes is concordant with general trends across the Mississippi flyway and this percentage was stable across Mallards we sampled a decade apart. The capture and perpetuation of OW A mtDNA haplotypes are likely due to female breeding structure, whereas reversal of the nuclear signal back to wild ancestry is due to sequential backcrossing and lower and/or declining admixture with game-farm Mallards. Future studies of wild ancestry of Mississippi flyway Mallards will benefit from coupling molecular and spatial technology across flyways, seasons, and years to search for potential transitions of Mallard populations with different genetic ancestry, and whether the genetic ancestry is somehow linked to an individual's natal and subsequent breeding location. LAY SUMMARY Mallard ducks are common worldwide but are declining in the Atlantic flyway of eastern North America, a decline that may be influenced by widespread hybridization between genetically wild Mallards and domestic game-farm birds that are released for hunting. We used hunter-harvested birds to investigate possible westward expansion and hybridization rates in the lower Mississippi flyway. Despite recovering 30% of samples possessing game-farm Mallard-derived mitochondrial DNA, only 4% were identified as hybrids across thousands of nuclear loci. Prevalence of game-farm Mallard-derived mitochondrial haplotypes were consistent in Mallards sampled a decade apart, suggesting mitochondrial introgression can be captured and persist within lineages far longer than nuclear DNA. Whereas the prevalence of wild × game-farm Mallard hybrids remains significantly less in the lower Mississippi relative to the Atlantic flyway, continued genetic monitoring and development of management strategies to abate future hybridization will be required.
