Genomic insights into natural selection in the common loon (Gavia immer): evidence for aquatic adaptation

BACKGROUND: The common loon (Gavia immer) is one of five species that comprise the avian order Gaviiformes. Loons are specialized divers, reaching depths up to 60 m while staying submerged for intervals up to three minutes. In this study we used comparative genomics to investigate the genetic basis...
