A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

Ecology and EvolutionPartial migration is a phenomenon where migratory and resident individuals of the same species co‐exist within a population, and has been linked to both intrinsic (e.g., genetic) as well as environmental factors.

eLife, 2018 Excitatory and inhibitory synapses are the brain’s most abundant synapse types. However, little is known about their formation during critical periods of motor skill learning, when sensory experience defines a motor target that animals strive to imitate.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Linking Snake Behavior to Nest Predation in a Midwestern Bird Community
, 2010 Nest predators can adversely affect the viability of songbird populations, and their impact is exacerbated in fragmented habitats. Despite substantial research on this predator-prey interaction, however, almost all of the focus has been on the birds ...

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

Anthropogenic Nest Cavities Used by Snow Buntings in an Urban Arctic Landscape
Ecology and EvolutionNorthern and Arctic ecosystems are experiencing rapid climate change, and simultaneously, human populations in the North are growing and centralizing. The Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) is a Holarctic‐breeding songbird and abundant in urban Iqaluit

11β-HSD Types 1 and 2 in the Songbird Brain
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones act on the brain to regulate diverse functions, from behavior and homeostasis to the activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The cortico‐basal ganglia pathways that mediate vocal learning in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) are localized in parallel circuits formed by CORE and SHELL subregions. These circuits traverse a specialized region of the basal ganglia essential for vocal learning (Area X), which includes intermixed striatal and pallidal neurons.
