Contrasting trends of population size change for two Eurasian Owlet species - Athene brama and Glaucidium radiatum from South Asia over the late Quaternary

This study aims to understand the impacts of past climactic fluctuations, particulalry the over the late Quaternary, on the population size trends of two phylogenetically close, yet ecologically distinct species of Owlets in India. We use the Pairwise Sequential Markovian Coalescent (PSMC) approach on whole genome data from the two species to examine effective population size changes over time.
