Invasive insect genetics: Start codon targeted (SCoT) markers provide superior data to describe genetic diversity of brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, in a newly colonized region

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we assessed the genetic diversity of Halyomorpha halys, an invasive agricultural pest, in Türkiye using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. SCoT markers revealed high polymorphism (91.4%) and six genetic clusters among 71 specimens from 12 provinces, with Trabzon showing ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Nest clustering correlates with breeding phenology rather than female relatedness in Red‐breasted Mergansers (Mergus serrator)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale spatial and temporal genetic structuring of nests is possible in colonial birds that return to breed at their natal sites, and notably in waterfowl for which females are more philopatric than males. We genotyped female Red‐breasted Mergansers Mergus serrator breeding colonially on a coastal archipelago in eastern New Brunswick, Canada ...

Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...

Reviving of Coenonympha oedippus: A comprehensive approach to the reintroduction of an endangered European butterfly

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The reintroduction of the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus is the first conservation translocation of an invertebrate species in Slovenia. Three years after reintroduction, the population showed an 87% growth rate, demonstrating the effectiveness of the selected reintroduction site and its management, the source individuals and the protocols ...
