Modern PCRs comprised 0.25 mm dntps, 1X buffer, 1.25 units GoTaq polymerase (Promega), 2 mm MgCl2, 1µM of each primer, and 1 µl DNA extract in 25µl total. Cycling conditions were 94 C for 5 min.; 35 cycles of 94 C for 1 min., annealing 1 min, 68 C for 2 min.; final extension at 72 C for 10 min. Historic DNA PCRs were 25 µl reactions comprising 50µg rabbit serum albumin, 0.25 mm dntps, 1X buffer, 1.25 units Platinum Taq High Fidelity polymerase (Invitrogen), 1 mm MgSO4, 0.4 µm of each primer, and 1 µl DNA extract. Cycling conditions were 94 C for 60 sec.; 60 cycles of 94 C for 30 sec., annealing for 45 sec, and 68 C for 45 sec.

4 2. Supplementary Figures Phylogenies Supplemental Phylogenetic Methods: We performed Maximum likelihood (ML), ML bootstrapping (MLBP) and Bayesian analyses for ND1, Dloop, MB and CHD separately and combined. Wood duck (Anas strepera) and crested duck (Lophonetta specularioides) were included as outgroups (Table S1). We performed Dloop only analyses both with and without previously published sequences from [6] obtained from GenBank (Table S1). We performed ML analyses using RAxML v7.2.8alpha [7, 8], using the GTR + Γ model of evolution for each gene (partitioned in the combined analysis) and 100 rapid bootstrap pseudoreplicates (option f a). We performed Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analyses using MrBayes version or 3.2 [9], which incorporates both hot and cold chains in a single analysis to improve mixing. We ran MrBayes twice for 5 million generations each for all single gene analyses. We ran the combined loci analysis for 30 million generations, with each locus assigned a separate partition with unlinked model parameters. In all runs, chains were sampled every 1000 iterations, and the first 10% of sampled states were discarded as burn in following convergence assessment using the sump command. Convergence was assumed when the runs were sampling the same posterior distribution and all parameters had a potential scale reduction factor of 1.0. All trees were summarized in treeannotator v1.6.1 (part of the BEAST v1.6.1 package; [10]) and visualized in FigTree version [11].
