High-recombining genomic regions affect demography inference

This study shows that high-recombining genomic regions affect demography inference using ARG-based methods and suggests caution in species with long stretches of such regions.

The unexpected consequences of predictor error in ecological model selection

This paper shows that predictor error in ecological models can bias model selection, leading to incorrect conclusions about effect sizes and model fit.

Structural genomic variation and migratory behavior in wild songbirds

The paper identifies structural variants in Eurasian blackcaps and links them to migratory behavior, finding one SV explains variation in migration direction.

Evidence for adaptive evolution towards high magnetic sensitivity of potential magnetoreceptor in songbirds

The paper investigates Cry4's role as a magnetoreceptor in migratory songbirds, showing strong positive selection and variability, and identifies its loss in certain bird groups.

bi-axial orientation could explain range expansion in a migratory songbird

The paper investigates how a northwards migratory route in Eurasian blackcaps could arise from reversing the expected southwards direction, finding support for bi-axial orientation variation explaining range expansion.

Distinct patterns of genetic variation at low-recombining genomic regions represent haplotype structure

The paper identifies distinct genetic variation patterns in low-recombining regions of Eurasian blackcap genomes, attributing them to reduced recombination rates rather than selection.
