AB  - We revise the taxonomy of the Sylvia cantillans complex, a group of phenotypically distinct warblers with mainly
parapatric distributions around a large part of the Mediterranean basin. We redefine the species limits using a
combination of mitochondrial and nuclear markers and we objectively link available names to the genetically defined
lineages by genotyping the surviving type specimens. In addition, the study of archival documents clarifies the exact composition of type series and provides further evidence for the identification of lost types. These results support the
recognition of three species-level taxa: Moltoni’s warbler, Sylvia subalpina (north-central Italy, Corsica, Sardinia and
the Balearics); the western subalpine warbler, S. iberiae (North Africa, Iberia, southern France and extreme northwest
Italy); and the eastern subalpine warbler, S. cantillans, with subspecies S. cantillans cantillans (southern Italy,
Sicily) and S. cantillans albistriata (Balkans, Greece, western Turkey).

AB  - We use multilocus molecular data and species distribution modelling to investigate
the phylogenetics and the phylogeography of the White-backed Woodpecker
(Dendrocopos leucotos), a bird species widely distributed over the entire Palaearctic.
Our phylogenetic results reveal three well-supported clades within D. leucotos: the
Chinese endemic subspecies (tangi, insularis), the northerly distributed subspecies
(leucotos, uralensis) and the four poorly genetically differentiated Japanese subspecies
(subcirris, stejnegeri, namiyei, owstoni), and the south-western Palaearctic
lilfordi subspecies. According to our results, the Amami Woodpecker, endemic to
Amami Oshima Island (Ryukyu archipelago, Japan) sometimes treated as full species
Dendrocopos owstoni, does not deserve a species-level status. Based on the mitochondrial
phylogeographic results, the Japanese archipelago was recently colonized
only once by D. leucotos from eastern Eurasia. Our results suggest a split between
the leucotos and lilfordi lineages that dates back to mid-Pleistocene (around 0.6 Mya)
with likely no gene flow between these two subspecies since then. Our results thus
do not support a phylogeographic pattern in which Central Europe and Northern
Europe were recolonized from one or several southern glacial refugia where lilfordi
populations persisted through several Pleistocene glacial periods. Spatial variation in
mitochondrial diversity across leucotos/uralensis populations and niche ecological
modelling suggest a possible eastward population expansion from a unique glacial
refugium likely located in Central Europe. Molecular species delimitation methods,
gene flow analyses and differences in adult and juvenile plumage indicate that the
lilfordi subspecies may warrant to be ranked as a valid phylogenetic species. Further
studies are nevertheless needed in the Balkans, where leucotos and lilfordi came
recently into contact to measure the effectiveness of reproductive barriers and gene
flow.

AB  - Each year, billions of songbirds cross large ecological barriers during their migration. Understanding
how they perform this incredible task is crucial to predict how global change may threaten the safety
of such journeys. Earlier studies based on radar suggested that most songbirds cross deserts in
intermittent flights at high altitude, stopping in the desert during the day, while recent tracking with
light loggers suggested diurnal prolongation of nocturnal flights and common non-stop flights for some
species. We analyzed light intensity and temperature data obtained from geolocation loggers deployed
on 130 individuals of ten migratory songbird species, and show that a large variety of strategies forcrossing deserts exists between, but also sometimes within species. Diurnal stopover in the desert is a
common strategy in autumn, while most species prolonged some nocturnal flights into the day. Nonstop
flights over the desert occurred more frequently in spring than in autumn, and more frequently
in foliage gleaners. Temperature recordings suggest that songbirds crossed deserts with flight bouts
performed at various altitudes according to species and season, along a gradient ranging from low
above ground in autumn to probably >2000 m above ground level, and possibly at higher altitude in
spring. High-altitude flights are therefore not the general rule for crossing deserts in migrant songbirds.
We conclude that a diversity of migration strategies exists for desert crossing among songbirds, with
variations between but also within species.
