Genomic research supports recognizing new scrub jay species in Texas and Mexico
A comprehensive new genetic and statistical study reveals two groups of scrub jays — one in Mexico and one in Texas — deserve status as independent species. The paper also uses genomic data to sketch a natural history of scrub jays, showing how geographic changes over millennia split up and reconnected groups of the birds, swaying the flow of genes between them.
