Shearwaters are a group of globally distributed and highly mobile pelagic seabirds. Despite a recent well-resolved phylogeny, shearwaters have controversial species limits, and show periods of both slow and rapid diversification. Here, we explore the role of palaeoceanographic changes on shearwaters' diversification and speciation. We investigate shearwater biogeography and the evolution of a key phenotypic trait, body size, and we assess the validity of their current taxonomy.18 p.application/pdfengcc by-nc (c) John Wiley & Sons, 2022http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/Ocells marinsGenòmicaTaxonomia zoològicaPliocèSea birdsGenomicsZoological taxonomyPlioceneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7153842023-02-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
