Genomic prediction of (mal) adaptation across current and future climatic landscapes
Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …

African departure rather than migration speed determines variation in spring arrival in pied flycatchers
J Ouwehand, C Both - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Properly timed spring migration enhances reproduction and survival. Climate change

Candidate gene polymorphisms are linked to dispersive and migratory behaviour: Searching for a mechanism behind the “paradox of the great speciators”
The “paradox of the great speciators” has puzzled evolutionary biologists for over half a
century. A great speciator requires excellent dispersal propensity to explain its occurrence …

The Pacific as the world's greatest theater of bird migration: Extreme flights spark questions about physiological capabilities, behavior, and the evolution of migratory …
Abstract The Pacific Basin, by virtue of its vastness and its complex aeroscape, provides
unique opportunities to address questions about the behavioral and physiological …

Migration phenology and breeding success are predicted by methylation of a photoperiodic gene in the barn swallow
Individuals often considerably differ in the timing of their life-cycle events, with major
consequences for individual fitness, and, ultimately, for population dynamics. Phenological …

Individuals departing non-breeding areas early achieve earlier breeding and higher breeding success
Conditions experienced by an individual during migration have the potential to shape
migratory tactic and in turn fitness. For large birds, environmental conditions encountered …

Seasonal gene expression in a migratory songbird
The annual migration of a bird can involve thousands of kilometres of nonstop flight,
requiring accurately timed seasonal changes in physiology and behaviour. Understanding …

Timing as a sexually selected trait: the right mate at the right moment
Sexual selection favours the expression of traits in one sex that attract members of the
opposite sex for mating. The nature of sexually selected traits such as vocalization, colour …
