The latitudinal gradient in dispersal constraints: Ecological specialisation drives diversification in tropical birds

Physiological and behavioural constraints arising from ecological specialisation are proposed to limit gene flow and promote diversification in tropical lineages. In this study, we use phylogenetic analyses to test this idea in 739 Amazonian bird species. We show that patterns of species and subspec...
