Abstract
⺠We reconstruct a phylogeny of Cinclosoma using molecular markers. ⺠Multilocus gene and species trees support recognition of seven species. ⺠We infer that arid-adapted taxa evolved from forest-adapted ancestors. ⺠We investigate a 'leapfrog' distribution in plumage patterns. ⺠A hybridization event between C. castanotum and C. marginatum was identified.
