Winter connectivity and leapfrog migration in a migratory passerine [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Technological advances in migratory tracking tools have revealed a remarkable diversity in migratory patterns. One such pattern is leapfrog migration, where individuals that breed further north migrate to locations further south.

Genotype–environment associations across spatial scales reveal the importance of putative adaptive genetic variation in divergence [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Identifying areas of high evolutionary potential is a judicious strategy for developing conservation priorities in the face of environmental change.

Genoscape: a Cytoscape plug-in to automate the retrieval and integration of gene expression data and molecular networks [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2009
AbstractSummary: Genoscape is an open-source Cytoscape plug-in that visually integrates gene expression data sets from GenoScript, a transcriptomic database, and KEGG pathways into Cytoscape networks. The generated visualisation highlights gene expression changes and their statistical significance.

Library preparation method and DNA source influence endogenous DNA recovery from 100‐year‐old avian museum specimens [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
We analyzed shallow WGS data from 60 historical DNA libraries collected from ~100‐year‐old museum bird study skins through an experimental design that controlled for variation by individual specimen, age of collection, and taxonomy. We found that of the three library preparation methods that we tested, one single‐stranded DNA method returned ...

Genetic and environmental drivers of migratory behavior in western burrowing owls and implications for conservation and management [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 1889-1900, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Migration is driven by a combination of environmental and genetic factors, but many questions remain about those drivers. Potential interactions between genetic and environmental variants associated with different migratory phenotypes are rarely the focus of study.

Leveraging genomics to understand threats to migratory birds [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1646-1658, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Understanding how risk factors affect populations across their annual cycle is a major challenge for conserving migratory birds. For example, disease outbreaks may happen on the breeding grounds, the wintering grounds, or during migration and are expected to accelerate under climate change.

Ataluren‐Induced Functional Restoration of Neurofibromin in Fibroblasts From Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Patients With Nonsense Mutations [PDF]

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
The therapeutic potential of ataluren for NF1 nonsense mutations was assessed by a comprehensive evaluation of the RAS/MEK/ERK pathway activity in 22 NF1NS/+ patient‐derived fibroblasts. The whole‐transcriptomic profiles between ataluren responders and nonresponders, and further analysis and validation revealed novel biomarkers, AMPD3 and TGFBR3, for ...

The Breeding Distribution of a Migratory Bird Fluctuates With Nonbreeding Season Rainfall Over the Last Century [PDF]

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
Recent findings demonstrate that the breeding origin of a nonbreeding population of American redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla ) in Jamaica is shifting southward in response to prolonged drought on the nonbreeding grounds, differentially causing lower survival in longer migrating individuals. We examined how widespread this mechanism has operated over the

Factors underlying migratory timing of a seasonally migrating bird [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Bird migration has fascinated natural historians and scientists for centuries. While the timing of migration is known to vary by species, population, sex, and individual, identifying the cause of this variation can be challenging.

Challenges and opportunities for data integration to improve estimation of migratory connectivity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Understanding migratory connectivity, or the linkage of populations between seasons, is critical for effective conservation and management of migratory wildlife.
