Maternal and genetic factors determine early life telomere length
In a broad range of species—including humans—it has been demonstrated that telomere
length declines throughout life and that it may be involved in cell and organismal …

Estimating heritabilities and genetic correlations: comparing the 'animal model'with parent-offspring regression using data from a natural population
Quantitative genetic parameters are nowadays more frequently estimated with restricted
maximum likelihood using the 'animal model'than with traditional methods such as parent …

Intralocus sexual conflict over wing length in a wild migratory bird
M Tarka, M Åkesson, D Hasselquist… - The American …, 2014 - journals.uchicago.edu
Intralocus sexual conflict (ISC) occurs when males and females have different adaptive
peaks but are constrained from evolving sexual dimorphism because of shared genes …

Lifetime fitness of short‐and long‐distance dispersing great reed warblers
Dispersal is of prime importance for many evolutionary processes and has been studied for
decades. The reproductive consequences of dispersal have proven difficult to study, simply …

Contrasting results from GWAS and QTL mapping on wing length in great reed warblers
A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic basis of adaptive traits. In
migratory birds, wing morphology is such a trait. Our previous work on the great reed warbler …

Linkage mapping reveals sex-dimorphic map distances in a passerine bird
Linkage maps are lacking for many highly influential model organisms in evolutionary
research, including all passerine birds. Consequently, their full potential as research models …

Selection and evolutionary potential of spring arrival phenology in males and females of a migratory songbird
The timing of annual life‐history events affects survival and reproduction of all organisms. A
changing environment can perturb phenological adaptations and an important question is if …
