All Birds Barcoding Initiative. Today: 11,000 barcodes from 2,038 species (21% world birds). What insights might 11,000 avian barcodes reveal?. Tomorrow: 100,000 barcodes from 10,000 birds. Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets.

Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets 1. Population size and mitochondrial variation in birds x = • Why birds? Good data on • species limits • census population size (10^3-10^8) • life history (longevity, clutch size) • geographic breeding range
Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets 3. Is COI barcode region predictive of differences elsewhere in mitochondrial and nuclear genome? • Why birds? Good data on • cyt b sequences (2,751 species) • whole mitochondrial genomes (65 species)
Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets 4. Mitochondrial differences among and within species in birds vs other animal groups
Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets 2. MOTU analysis applied to birds • Why birds? Good data on • species limits • geographic range (can analyze sympatric vs. allopatric species)
Possible manuscript using avian barcode data sets 5. Visualization of avian mitochondrial diversity Structure of universe Structure of avian diversity?
