Conspecific brood parasitism in the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) and other Hirundinidae

Václav Jelínek, Lisandrina Mari, Adéla Petrželková, Jana Albrechtová, Jaroslav Cepák, Sylvia Kuhn, Pavel Munclinger, Oldřich Tomášek, Michal Šulc, Tomáš Albrecht

This study investigates conspecific brood parasitism in barn swallows and finds it rare, challenging previous assumptions and highlighting the need for rigorous genetic validation.

The germline-restricted chromosome orchestrates germ cell development in passerine birds

Niki Vontzou, Yifan Pei, Israel Campo Bes, Wolfgang Forstmeier, Moritz Hertel, Manuel Irimia, Bart Kempenaers, Sylvia Kuhn, Katrin Martin, Jakob C. Mueller, Kim Teltscher, Annelie Mollbrink, Xesús Manoel Abalo, Matthew T. Biegler, Simone Immler, , Alexander Suh

The paper uses RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics in zebra finches to study the role of the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) in germ cell development, identifying its involvement in oocyte maturation and gene expression regulation.
