This study investigates the genetic structure and dispersal patterns of Philornis downsi across Galapagos Islands using whole genome sequencing, finding asymmetric gene flow and genetic divergence linked to trade winds and shipping routes.

The paper develops BEAC, an epigenetic clock for birds, validated across multiple species and showing strong predictive performance for chronological age.

The paper examines the structure and functions of duets in Galapagos Yellow Warblers, finding that females predominantly initiate and coordinate call answers, while male replies are less frequent and less coordinated.

The paper investigates the seasonal patterns and functions of female song in Galapagos Yellow Warblers, finding that female song is primarily non-breeding season and does not function for territory defense.

This study examines cultural and morphological divergence in two populations of Darwin's cactus finches on different Galapagos Islands, finding distinct song syllables and beak sizes but similar singing behaviors.

This study examines how Galapagos yellow warblers adjust their song and aggression in response to traffic noise, finding differences based on proximity to roads and island location.

The paper examines genomic introgression between a critically endangered and stable Darwin's tree finch species, finding evidence of selection for hybrid alleles associated with immunity and development.
