The twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion in research on animal migration, in
large part due to a technological revolution in tracking and remote-sensing technologies …

Recent biological analyses suggest that reductions in dispersal ability have been key drivers
of diversification across numerous lineages. We synthesise emerging data to highlight …

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic
changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes …

The evolutionarily conserved VPS13 family proteins have been implicated in several cellular
processes. Mutations in each of the four human VPS13s cause neurodevelopmental or …

Nervous systems allow animals to acutely respond and behaviorally adapt to changes and
recurring patterns in their environment at multiple timescales—from milliseconds to years …

Genetic and genomic architectures of traits under selection are key factors influencing
evolutionary responses. Yet, knowledge of their impacts has been limited by a widespread …

Avian migration is among the most energetically demanding feats observed in animals.
Studies evaluating the physiological underpinnings of migration have repeatedly shown that …

The genetic basis of bird migration has been the focus of several studies. Two willow
warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) …

Migration is driven by a combination of environmental and genetic factors, but many
questions remain about those drivers. Potential interactions between genetic and …

Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genetic variation; and descriptions in natural
populations and connections with phenotypic traits are beginning to accumulate in the …
