Is scolopax minor the American Woodcock only in the scolopax genus due to convergent evolution with scolopax rusticola and other Eurasian species? When did the ancestral chadriiform cross to America, and is it a different one than that which evolved into S. Rusticola? The LCA and time they diverged seems so unclear. submitted by /u/cheeseburgercats [link] [comments]
