A global population redistribution in a migrant shorebird detected with continent‐wide qualitative breeding survey data
Aim Over the last two decades, thousands of northward migrating ruffs (Philomachus
pugnax) have disappeared from western European staging sites. These migratory ruffs were …

A dominant allele controls development into female mimic male and diminutive female ruffs
Maintaining polymorphisms for genes with effects of ecological significance may involve
conflicting selection in males and females. We present data from a captive population of ruffs …

Leukocyte profiles are associated with longevity and survival, but not migratory effort: A comparative analysis of shorebirds
Assessment of leukocyte profiles has become an increasingly popular tool in the fields of
ecology and ecophysiology. The ratio of heterophils to lymphocytes (H/L ratio) is of special …

A novel mitochondrial gene order in shorebirds (Scolopacidae, Charadriiformes)
Although the mitochondrial genome in birds has highly conserved features, with protein
genes similar to mammals and amphibians, several variations in gene order around the …

Female-biased sex ratios and the proportion of cryptic male morphs of migrant juvenile ruffs (Philomachus pugnax) in Finland
Biases in sex ratio may affect the viability of populations, and may arise for different rea-
sons, such as biased primary ratio and differential juvenile or adult mortality of sexes. Global …
