Seasonal and environmental factors contribute to the variation in the gut microbiome: a large-scale study of a small bird

M. Liukkonen, J. Muriel, J. Martinez-Padilla, A. Nord, V.-M. Pakanen, B. Rosivall, V. Tilgar, K. van Oers, K. Grond, S. Ruuskanen

This study examines seasonal and environmental factors influencing gut microbiome variation in wild great tits across their range, finding higher diversity in winter and some habitat-related differences.

Parental control: ecology drives plasticity in parental response to offspring signals

S. Caro, A. C. Velasco, T. van Mastrigt, K. van Oers, A. S. Griffin, S. A. West, C. A. Hinde

The paper tests whether parental or offspring behavior drives variation in food allocation strategies in birds, finding that parents adjust their feeding preferences based on food availability.

Reorganization of molecular networks associated with DNA methylation and changes in the rearing environments of the house wren (Troglodytes aedon)

B. vonHoldt, R. K. Kartzinel, K. van Oers, K. J. F. Verhoeven, J. Q. Ouyang

This study examines how rearing environments affect DNA methylation patterns in house wren offspring and links these changes to physiological phenotypes like glucocorticoid levels.

No reproductive benefits of dear enemy recognition in a territorial songbird

M. S. Reichert, J. M. S. Crane, G. Davidson, E. Dillane, I. Kulahci, J. O'Neill, K. van Oers, C. Sexton, J. Quinn

The paper tests if dear enemy recognition affects reproductive success in great tits, finding no benefits or costs associated with the behavior.

Does arsenic contamination affect DNA methylation patterns in a wild bird population? An experimental approach

V. Laine, M. Verschuuren, K. van Oers, S. Espin, P. Sanchez-Virosta, T. Eeva, S. Ruuskanen

This study investigates the effects of early-life arsenic exposure on DNA methylation in wild great tits, finding limited differential methylation at five CpG sites.
