An Experimental Analysis of the Fine-Scale Effects of Nest Ectoparasites on Incubation Behavior

A. K. Hund, K. A. McCahill, M. Hernandez, S. P. Turbek, D. R. Ardia, R. C. Terrien, R. J. Safran

This study manipulates nest ectoparasites in barn swallows to examine their impact on incubation behavior and egg temperatures, finding that other factors drive most variation in incubation, but parasitized nests had warmer eggs with lower hatching success.

Analysis of female song provides insight into the evolution of sex differences in a widely studied songbird

M. R. Wilkins, K. J. Odom, L. Benedict, R. J. Safran

The paper analyzes female song in barn swallows to explore sex differences in phenotypic traits and their association with reproductive success, finding that female song traits show greater sexual differentiation than plumage traits.

Migratory divides coincide with species barriers across replicated avian hybrid zones above the Tibetan Plateau

E. S. C. Scordato, C. C. S. Smith, G. A. Semenov, Y. Liu, M. R. Wilkins, W. Liang, A. Rubtsov, G. Sundev, K. Koyama, S. P. Turbek, M. B. Wunder, C. A. Stricker, R. J. Safran

The paper examines reproductive isolation in barn swallow subspecies pairs, finding strong isolation coincides with migratory divides across the Tibetan Plateau, supporting the role of migratory behavior in speciation.
