Flightless rails:

  • Have shorter wings
  • Are generally bigger
  • Produce less eggs
  • Expend less energy

PAML: Codeml

  • designate 1 or more

dN/dS ratios (ω) over the tree

  • calculate log likelihood

for the different trees

  • are they significantly

different?

Ancient DNA

  • Gallirallus modestus
  • Gallirallus dieffenbachi
  • Porphyrio mantelli

Future directions

  • Is dN/dS a useful measure – how informative is

it?

  • What is happening with the nuclear-coded

genes?

  • More flightless species:
