Description:
How old are most species of North American birds? A longstanding debate centers on whether Pleistocene events caused substantial avian diversification. Two new syntheses of speciation times by Johnson and Cicero, and Weir and Schluter provide compelling evidence of recent Pleistocene speciation, whereas diversification rate analyses by Zink et al. suggest that most speciation events occurred earlier. Although these results are seemingly contradictory, when considered together they provide a robust and complementary perspective on the tempo of avian diversification in North America.
