Mitonuclear interactions impact aerobic metabolism in hybrids and may explain mitonuclear discordance in young, naturally hybridizing bird lineages

The paper shows mitonuclear interactions affect aerobic metabolism in bird hybrids and may explain geographic discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes.

Environmental Uncertainty Affects Movement and Space-use in Sheep

This study shows that Merino sheep adjust their movement and space-use behavior in response to environmental uncertainty, moving more directionally and covering greater distances as they gain more foraging knowledge.

Heat stress conditions affect the social network structure of free-ranging sheep

This study shows that heat stress conditions in free-ranging sheep increase social network connectivity and alter social positioning based on shade use behavior.

Genetics and evidence for balancing selection of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in a songbird

The paper identifies the genetic basis of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in Gouldian finches and finds evidence for balancing selection maintaining the polymorphism.

The variability of song variability in wild and domesticated zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata

This study examines song variability in zebra finches, finding that domesticated populations show higher song diversity than wild-derived ones, suggesting a genetic basis for this trait.
