Expression patterns and interaction profiles of heterotrimeric transducin subunits in the retina of the European robin (Erithacus rubecula)

The paper examines G-protein subunit expression and interactions in the retina of the European robin, finding photoreceptor-specific expression patterns and in vitro interactions of {beta}{gamma} dimers.

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.

Rapid and divergent changes in the continental-scale organisation of a short-lived songbird's migratory strategy

The paper shows that blackcaps have shifted migratory direction due to warmer winters, using geolocator data and historical ringing records.

The road to nowhere: geolocation-by-genotype traces large-scale yellow-browed warbler vagrancy to central Siberia

This paper uses genetic data to determine the origin of vagrant yellow-browed warblers in Europe, finding they originate from central Siberia, suggesting mass misorientation.

Migration patterns and hybridization within the Asian stonechat complex in response to a major geographical barrier

The paper investigates migration patterns and hybridization in Asian stonechats around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, finding a migratory divide with hybridization and diverse routes.

Shifting balancing selection on a chromosomal inversion in island populations

The paper shows that balancing selection on a chromosomal inversion shifts in island populations due to demographic events, leading to reduced inversion frequency compared to continental populations.

Cryptochrome 4b protein is likely irrelevant for the radical pair based magnetoreception in the European robin

The paper investigates whether ErCry4b in European robins can function as a radical pair magnetic sensor, finding it lacks FAD binding and is not expressed at detectable levels.

High-recombining genomic regions affect demography inference

This study shows that high-recombining genomic regions affect demography inference using ARG-based methods and suggests caution in species with long stretches of such regions.

Comparative analysis of genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profiles across 580 animal species

The paper maps DNA methylation in 580 animal species, revealing conserved and evolving patterns across vertebrates and invertebrates.

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.

Comparative analysis examining patterns of genomic differentiation across multiple episodes of population divergence in birds

The paper examines genomic differentiation patterns across eight bird sister pairs, finding correlations between differentiation metrics and genomic features like gene density, with higher repeatability in more reproductively isolated pairs.

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.
