Abstract: Bird migration has fascinated natural historians and scientists for centuries. While the timing of migration is known to vary by species, population, sex, and individual, identifying the cause of this variation can be challenging. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0453
Abstract: Like many organisms, birds exhibit daily (circadian) and seasonal biological rhythms, and within populations both daily and seasonal timing often vary among individuals. Because photoperiod interacts with the circadian rhythms of many organisms to induce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2507
Abstract: Seasonal migration is a dynamic natural phenomenon that allows organisms to exploit favourable habitats across the annual cycle. While the morphological, physiological and behavioural changes associated with migratory behaviour are well characterized, the genetic basis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.062039
Abstract: ABSTRACT Great reed warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) have become an important species for understanding long-distance avian migration, yet the genetic basis of their migratory timing remains unknown. While previous studies have identified candidate genes influencing migration… read more here.
