Transposable elements as agents of rapid adaptation may explain the genetic paradox of invasive species
Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists
for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although …

Genetic differences between willow warbler migratory phenotypes are few and cluster in large haplotype blocks
It is well established that differences in migratory behavior between populations of songbirds
have a genetic basis but the actual genes underlying these traits remains largely unknown …
