Rates of recombination and their association with EBRs for chicken (red) and zebra finch (blue). In chicken, recombination rates are near identical in windows with and without EBRs (2.90 and 2.80, respectively). In zebra finch recombination rates are slightly higher in windows with EBRs (1.60 and 1.29, respectively) but the difference does not reach statistical significance (P = 0.1 for both tests used).
