Most processes within organisms, and most interactions between organisms and their
environment, have distinct time profiles. The temporal coordination of such processes is …

Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …

In 2007, the first miniature light-level geolocators were deployed on small landbirds,
revolutionizing the study of migration. In this paper, we review studies that have used …

Biodiversity conservation is a global issue where the challenge is to integrate all levels of
biodiversity to ensure the long‐term evolutionary potential and resilience of biological …

The twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion in research on animal migration, in
large part due to a technological revolution in tracking and remote-sensing technologies …

The field of molecular biology is advancing fast with new powerful technologies, sequencing
methods and analysis software being developed constantly. Commonly used tools originally …

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 …

Seasonal adaptation in animals is a complex process that involves genetic, epigenetic, and
environmental factors. The present review explores recent studies on epigenetic …

Migration is a complex behavioural adaptation for survival that has evolved across the
animal kingdom from invertebrates to mammals. In some taxa, closely related migratory …

There is increasing interest in understanding the potential for epigenetic factors to contribute
to phenotypic diversity in evolutionary biology. One well studied epigenetic mechanism is …
