Effect of the Social Environment on Spring Migration Timing of a Songbird
The influence of the social environment on the timing of the annual cycle is poorly understood. Seasonally migratory birds are under pressure to accurately time their spring migration, and throughout the annual cycle, they may experience variability of ...

Genetics, Not Weather, Informs Migration Behaviors in a Long-Distance Migrant Songbird. [PDF]
We examined the influence of both genetics and the environmental conditions experienced by a long‐distance migrant, the Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus), on the timing and latitude of seven migratory events throughout their annual cycle. Genetic relatedness largely determined the timing (4 of 7) rather than latitude (1 of 7) of migration events.

Although there is abundant evidence that migrant landbirds have modified their migratory timing in response to climate change, few studies have looked for evidence of long-term changes in site use or function, while even fewer studies have looked for ...

Flower Development of Heterodichogamous Juglans mandshurica (Juglandaceae)
Juglans mandshurica is a monoecious heterodichogamous species with protogynous and protandrous mating strategies that occur at a 1:1 ratio and are randomly distributed in the population.

Andromonoecy and Floral Protandry of Oenanthe aquatica (Apiaceae)
The paper studies the synflorescence structure and flowering biology of the biennial monocarpic wetland plant Oenanthe aquatica. This species has a set of adaptations to prevent self-pollination, including generation of a pseudanthium, andromonoecy, intra- and interfloral protandry, and a specific sequence of flowering within its umbels.

The reproductive biology of Diplodus sargus sargus in the Gulf of Tunis (central Mediterranean)
The sexual activity of Diplodus sargus sargus in the Gulf of Tunis takes place from January to May. Spawning occurs in spring (March to May), as the water temperature rises from 15 to 18°C, just after the winter minimum.

Beyond the Black Box: Reproductive Strategies of the Black Soldier Fly as a Model for Bridging Evolutionary Biology and Applied Entomology. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) is rapidly emerging as a model for evolutionary biology and insect biotechnology. Although larval biology has been extensively characterised, the reproductive biology of adults remains comparatively understudied.
