Twenty years ago, a seminal paper summarized the role of sexual selection in speciation as
the coordinated evolution of (male) courtship signals and (female) preferences leading to …

Insights into the evolution of non-model organisms are limited by the lack of reference
genomes of high accuracy, completeness, and contiguity. Here, we present a chromosome …

Understanding the patterns and processes related to sexual dimorphism and sex differences
in diverse animal taxa is a foundational research topic in ecology and evolution. Within the …

Quantifying an individual's state as a fitness proxy has proven challenging, but accumulating
evidence suggests that telomere length and attrition may indicate individual somatic state …

Insights into the evolution of non-model organisms are often limited by the lack of reference
genomes. As part of the Vertebrate Genomes Project, we present a new reference genome …

The length of the ornamental tail rectrices has been shown to be an important condition-
dependent sexually selected trait in various bird species. Similarly, the shape and depth of …

The diploma thesis by Kamila Bendová titled „Blood glucose concentration in Barn Swallow
(Hirundo rustica): sources of variability and association with fitness “comprises 57 pages …

Vliv věku na fitness jedince je jedním z klíčových témat evoluční ekologie. V současnosti
intenzivně studovaným projevem věku je stárnutí organismu, tedy zhoršování tělesných …

Individual condition is an important variable that contributes significantly to ornament
expression, and thus affect individual attractiveness. Feather ornaments play an important …
