Culture (behaviour based on socially transmitted information) is present in diverse animal
species, yet how it interacts with genetic evolution remains largely unexplored. Here, we …

Phenotypic differences among individuals can arise during any stage of life. Although
several distinct processes underlying individual differences have been defined and studied …

For vertebrates, annual cycles are organized into a series of breeding and non-breeding
periods that vary in duration and location but are inextricably linked biologically. Here, we …

Noninvasive genetics based on microsatellite markers has become an indispensable tool for
wildlife monitoring and conservation research over the past decades. However …

When and where to move is a fundamental decision to migratory birds, and the fitness‐
related costs and benefits of migratory choices make them subject to strong selective forces …

All long‐distance migrants must cope with changing environments, but species differ greatly
in how they do so. In some species, individuals might be able to adjust by learning from …

Animal culture evolves alongside genomes, and the two modes of inheritance—culture and
genes—interact in myriad ways. For example, stable geographic variation in culture can act …

Many bird populations have recently changed their migratory behavior in response to
alterations of the environment. We collected data over 16 years on male Great Bustards (Otis …

Disruption of naturally evolved spatial patterns of genetic variation and local adaptations is a
growing concern in wildlife management and conservation. During the last decade, releases …

The inhomogeneous solar corona is continuously disturbed by transverse MHD waves. In
the inhomogeneous environment of coronal flux tubes, these waves are subject to resonant …
