Length polymorphisms at two candidate genes explain variation of migratory behaviors in blackpoll warblers (Setophaga striata)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Migratory behaviors such as the timing and duration of migration are genetically inherited and can be under strong natural selection, yet we still know very little about the specific genes or molecular pathways that control these behaviors.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System

open access: yesMedicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Inferring breeding phenology and reproductive success from the emergence of juveniles in population monitoring

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Phenological shifts caused by climate change are increasingly documented in wild populations. These events may be inferred by examining changes in population abundance and age structure throughout the breeding season, often using citizen science. However, several gaps still limit optimal use of such data.

Environmental factors influencing the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus in wild birds in Europe

open access: yes, 2010
A large number of occurrences of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus in wild birds were reported in Europe. The relationship between the occurrence pattern and environmental factors has, however, not yet been explored.

Migration pattern of silver eel (Anguilla anguilla, L.) in an obstructed river system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The downstream migration of European silver eels in the River Frémur was examined to determine the potential effects of the numerous migration barriers that exist on waterways in western France.

Seed co‐occurrence caused by shared frugivores leaves a long‐lasting signal in the spatial co‐occurrence among plants

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
By dispersing seeds, frugivorous animals affect spatial co‐occurrence of plants, ultimately influencing plant community dynamics. Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence.

Aspects of the life-cycle energetics of two subspecies of dunlin calidris alpina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Dunlin from two breeding populations, C.a.schinzii from Iceland and C.a.alpina from northern Scandinavia, were studied during and after migration through Teesmouth, north-east England, and in captivity. C.a.schinzii winters in north-west Africa and has a

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Avian spring migration phenology global metadata

open access: yes, 2016
Global metadata gathered from published studies on avian spring migration timing over time and with respect to temperature. Also includes publication data, methodological, geographical and species' ecological factors used in ...
