Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

SOARING BIRD MIGRATION RESEARCH AT THE BOSPHORUS STRAIT, TURKEY
, 2018 Soaring birds crossing the Bosphorus near Istanbul, Turkey, were monitored by the Istanbul Bird Watching Society (IBWS) in the 2007 spring season. During our research, we established an area that is significant for large numbers of migrating soaring ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Racing the wind. Water economy and energy expenditure in avian endurance flight [PDF]
, 2005 Ever since Ikarus, bird flight has been a fascinating miracle to man. Fragile birds cross deserts and overcome mountain ranges. They endure fasting, adverse climates, span the globe on the wing.

Ecography, EarlyView.Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Global Dynamics of Bird Migration: Trends, Mechanisms and Conservation Challenges
Global bird migration is a complex phenomenon influenced by a multitude of factors, including climate change, habitat loss, and human activities. This paper explores the trends in migratory patterns observed over recent decades, highlighting shifts in ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges
Remote Sensing in Ecology and ConservationAcoustic recordings have emerged as a promising tool to monitor nocturnal bird migration, as it can uniquely provide species‐level detection of migratory movements under the darkness of the night sky.

Temporal and spatial patterns of bird migration along the lower Texas Coast.
, 2015 This study is the first quantitative assessment of fine-scale patterns of migration along the lower Gulf coast of Texas. I used radar technology to monitor bird migration over three years for two coastal sites in autumn (15 August to 17 November) of 2007–
