Fine-scale population structure and asymmetrical dispersal in an obligate salt-marsh passerine, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus) [PDF]
, 2012 Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides). The mitogenome of C. coronoides was characterised as a circular molecule of 16,925 bp in length encoding a typically conserved structure similar to those of ...

Role of CISS in the Radical Pair Model of Avian Magnetoreception [PDF]
, 2022 In this paper, we investigate the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on the radical pair model of avian magnetoreception. We examine the impact of spin selectivity on the avian compass sensitivity. In this analysis, we also consider the dipolar and exchange interactions and observe their interplay with CISS.

Membrane Thickness Sensitivity of Avian Prestin: Implications [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Avian prestin is sensitive to membrane thickness as much as mammalian prestin, which undergoes conformational transitions in membrane area and thereby drives length changes of the cylindrical cell body of outer hair cells. The membrane thickness dependence of mammalian prestin stems from changes in hydrophobic profile in conformational states ...

Chiral-induced spin selectivity augments quantum coherence in avian compass [PDF]
, 2022 This work investigates the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on quantum spin coherence in the radical pair mechanism of avian magnetoreception. Additionally, we examine the utilitarian role of coherence for the avian compass by analyzing its correlation with the yield of the signaling state.

Feather growth rate and mass in nearctic passerines with variablemigratory behavior and molt pattern [PDF]
, 2012 Bird species vary greatly in the duration of their annual complete feather molt. However, such variation is not well documented in birds from many biogeographic areas, which restricts our understanding of the diversification of molt strategies.
