Avian phenotypic convergence is subject to low genetic constraints based on genomic evidence

Abstract Background Phenotypic convergence between distinct species provides an opportunity to examine the predictability of genetic evolution. Unrelated species sharing genetic underpinnings for phenotypic convergence suggests strong genetic constraints, and thus high predictability of evolution. H...
