@jochenwolflab.bsky.social Check out the latest paper spearheaded by @chyiyin.bsky.social. She explored different methods for target enrichment of DNA extracted from thousands of years old crow bones. Long live ancient DNA! doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Performance of Two Custom Probe Kits for In‐Solution Enrichment of Ancient Avian DNA
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis remains challenging due to low endogenous DNA content of degraded samples. Hybridisation-based in-solution enrichment has emerged as an effective tool for targeting genomi...

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry. But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out! doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🧵1/6

Genomic architecture of egg mimicry and its consequences for speciation in parasitic cuckoos
Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...

Sex-biased Migration and Demographic History of the Big European Firefly Lampyris noctiluca
Abstract. Differential dispersion between the sexes can impact the colonization process and demographic history of a species. Here, we explored the demogra
