Backyard birdfeeders driving avian evolution

[Michael Tarburton <>]

& my brief response:

The key is in the last line "These may prove to underlie differences  
in the ecology and behaviour of these diverse species." nothing  
proven yet.  All they are saying is that a study of groups of genes  
in related organisms can help id some genes that might help with  
"evolutionary inferences"  ie still no new gene designating a new  
function of Character.
Cheers & happy Christmas
