Human‐mediated hybridization threatens many native species, but the effects of
introgressive hybridization on life‐history expression are rarely quantified, especially in …

Phylogeographic structure within high-latitude North American birds is likely shaped by a
history of isolation in refugia during Pleistocene glaciations. Previous studies of individual …

Birds in seasonal habitats rely on intricate strategies for optimal timing of migrations. This is
governed by environmental cues, including photoperiod. Genetic factors affecting intrinsic …

Plant and animal populations can adapt to prolonged environmental changes if they have
sufficient genetic variation in important phenological traits. The genetic regulation of annual …

For the epic journey of autumn migration, long-distance migratory birds use innate and
learned information and follow strict schedules imposed by genetic and epigenetic …
