Adaptive evolution and environmental durability jointly structure phylodynamic patterns in avian influenza viruses.

Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been pivotal to the origination of human pandemic strains. Despite their scientific and public health significance, however, there remains much to be understood about the ecology and evolution of AIVs in wild birds, where major pools of genetic diversity are gener...
