From migrants to residents: Genomic insights into adaptive strategies in European robins (Erithacus rubecula)

This study uses whole genome re-sequencing data from European robins to explore how migration behavior influences population structure, demography, and selection pressures across different geographic regions.

Environmental and genetic drivers differentially shaped resident and transient gut microbiota during the Macaronesian chaffinch radiation

The paper investigates how environmental and genetic factors shape gut microbiota in Macaronesian chaffinches, showing that island size and isolation drive diversity, while host genetics influence microbial abundance.

Population-specific association of Clock gene polymorphism with annual cycle timing in stonechats

The paper investigates the association between Clock gene polymorphism and annual cycle timing in stonechats across different populations, finding population-specific links between repeat length and timing.

Correlated patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation across an avian family

The paper examines genetic diversity and differentiation patterns in stonechats and related species, finding similar genomic regions are important in evolution across independent lineages.
