Molecular Phylogenetics and the Diversification of Hummingbirds

(Current Biology 24, 910–916; April 14, 2014) As a result of a transcription error, the version of Figure S1 originally published with this article online contained two errors. The original tree erroneously included two Florisuga fusca labels, the second of which should have read Florisuga mellivora. The second error was the label indicating Phaethornis squalidus, which the original collector has notified us is in fact an example of P. rupurumii (initially catalogued as P. squalidus). The erroneous Phaethornis squalidus label also appeared in Figure S2. All of the labels in question have now been corrected in the supplement online. The authors apologize for any confusion resulting from these errors. Molecular Phylogenetics and the Diversification of HummingbirdsMcGuire et al.Current BiologyApril 3, 2014In BriefMcGuire et al. generated a time-calibrated multilocus phylogeny of hummingbirds and use it to explore the diversification dynamics of this species-rich New World assemblage. They find that hummingbird diversification began about 22 million years ago and was driven by highly heterogeneous clade-specific and regional diversification processes. Full-Text PDF Open Archive
