Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv: "Endemic island songbirds as windows into evolution in small effective population sizes". Using WGS data of 14 insular and 11 mainland species, we observed lower pi, higher piN/piS and lower adaptive substitution rates in the insular species. https://twitter.com/biorxiv_evobio/status/1248156236337512448
