The genetics and epigenetics of animal migration and orientation: birds, butterflies and beyond
Migration is a complex behavioural adaptation for survival that has evolved across the
animal kingdom from invertebrates to mammals. In some taxa, closely related migratory …

Identifying mechanisms of genetic differentiation among populations in vagile species: historical factors dominate genetic differentiation in seabirds
Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Genomic analysis of a migratory divide reveals candidate genes for migration and implicates selective sweeps in generating islands of differentiation
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 …

Individual variability and versatility in an eco-evolutionary model of avian migration
Seasonal migration is a complex and variable behaviour with the potential to promote
reproductive isolation. In Eurasian blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla), a migratory divide in central …

Serial founder effects and genetic differentiation during worldwide range expansion of monarch butterflies
Range expansions can result in founder effects, increasing genetic differentiation between
expanding populations and reducing genetic diversity along the expansion front. However …

A molecular phylogeny of the harriers (Circus, Accipitridae) indicate the role of long distance dispersal and migration in diversification
The monophyly of the raptorial Circus genus (harriers) has never been in question, but the
specific status of many, often vulnerable island endemic, taxa remains uncertain. Here we …
