Selection for altruistic defense in structured populations

F. Jordan, M. Hutzenthaler, D. Metzler

The paper models natural selection for an anti-parasite defense allele in structured populations and shows that genetic drift enables altruistic traits to spread despite fitness costs.

German Ixodes inopinatus samples may not actually represent this tick species

R. E. Rollins, G. Margos, A. Brachmann, S. Krebs, A. Mouchet, N. Dingemanse, A. Laatamna, N. Reghaissia, V. Fingerle, D. Metzler, N. S. Becker, L. Chitimia-Dobler

The study shows that German ticks morphologically identified as Ixodes inopinatus are genetically Ixodes ricinus, not I. inopinatus, and mitochondrial data alone cannot distinguish between the two species.

Fluffy feathers: how neoptile feathers contribute to camouflage in precocial chicks

V. A. Rohr, T. Volkmer, D. Metzler, C. Küpper

This study investigates how neoptile feathers contribute to camouflage in precocial chicks by diffusing outlines through edge intensity reduction and luminance transitions.

Assortative mate choice and epistatic mating-trait architecture induce complex movement of the crow hybrid zone

D. Metzler, U. Knief, J. Penalba, J. B. W. Wolf

This study uses a mathematical model to show how assortative mate choice and epistasis affect hybrid zone dynamics in crows, leading to complex movement of the hybrid zone over time.
