This study shows city and forest great tits differ genetically in their behavioral response to artificial light at night, but not in their circadian clock properties.

This study shows that environmental and demographic variation additively reduce the repeatability of evolution in replicated experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans.

This study shows that smaller size in urban great tits is genetic, not due to food scarcity, as city and forest birds responded similarly to reduced food availability.

The paper quantifies spatial synchrony in great tit age structure across 32 populations and identifies drivers like clutch size, temperature, and beech crops, showing synchrony maintained up to 650km.

This study examines how the timing of social mates affects diel timing variation in great tits and finds that females respond more strongly to their partner's timing than males.

The paper explores unmapped DNA and RNA reads from a songbird genome, generating de novo assemblies to identify sequences absent in the reference genome and potential pathogens.
