Timing is a crucial aspect for survival and reproduction in seasonal environments leading to
carefully scheduled annual programs of migration in many species. But what are the exact …

Twice-a-year, large-scale movement of billions of birds across latitudinal gradients is one of
the most fascinating behavioral phenomena seen among animals. These seasonal voyages …

Details on the genetics of behavioral and quantitative phenotypes remain limited to a few
organisms. Such information is central to understanding both adaptation and speciation, as …

It is well established that differences in migratory behavior between populations of songbirds
have a genetic basis but the actual genes underlying these traits remains largely unknown …

Differential gene flow, reductions in diversity following linked selection and/or features of the
genome can structure patterns of genomic differentiation during the process of speciation …

Structural rearrangements have been shown to be important in local adaptation and
speciation, but have been difficult to reliably identify and characterize in non-model species …

Seasonal migration is a widespread phenomenon, which is found in many different lineages
of animals. This spectacular behaviour allows animals to avoid seasonally adverse …

Abstract Background Salix matsudana Koidz. is a fast growing tree species. It has a high
cadmium (Cd) tolerance capacity, making it potentially suitable for phytoremediation …

We sequenced the antenna transcriptome of the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata
lugens (Stål), a global rice pest, and performed transcriptome analysis on BPH antenna. We …

The annual migration of a bird can involve thousands of kilometres of nonstop flight,
requiring accurately timed seasonal changes in physiology and behaviour. Understanding …
