The conquering of North America: dated phylogenetic and biogeographic inference of migratory behavior in bee hummingbirds

Abstract Background Geographical and temporal patterns of diversification in bee hummingbirds (Mellisugini) were assessed with respect to the evolution of migration, critical for colonization of North America. We generated a dated multilocus phylogeny of the Mellisugini based on a dense sampling usi...
