LAWRENCE, Kansas, July 14 (TNSjou) -- The University of Kansas issued the following news:
A comprehensive new genetic and statistical study from researchers at the University of Kansas reveals two groups of scrub jays -- one in Mexico and one in Texas -- deserve status as independent species. The paper, appearing in Systematic Biology, also uses genomic data to sketch a natural history of scrub jays, showing how geographic changes over millennia split up and reconnected groups of th . . .
