Oscines: Proposed correspondences between zebra finch AM (described here) and nucleus Taenia (Tn/TN/TnA) in oscines presented in SupportingInfo_SuppTable2.xlsx. AA: Dugas-Ford et al., 2012; Jarvis et al., 2013; Ad: Jarvis et al., 2013; Ap: Jarvis et al., 2013; Ai: Jarvis et al., 2013; Ad:Johnson et al., 1995; Iyengar et al., 1999; Bottjer et al., 2000; AId: Paterson et al., 2017; Ai: Wang et al., 2015; AIV: Mandelblat-Cerf et al., 2014; RAcup: Vates et al., 1996; Mello et al., 1998.
