Re-sequenced genome of the extinct Hoopoe Starling Fregilupus varius used to reconstruct its demographic history
The Hoopoe Starling (Fregilupus varius) is an extinct species of the Sturnidae that was endemic to Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. We generated an approximately 11X-coverage genome to reconstruct the demographic history of the Hoopoe Starling and compare these results with the demographic histories of other Sturnidae species.
