📢 happy to share our new paper in @molecology.bsky.social Common chiffchaff subspecies diverge in the same migration-related region as willow warblers (see thread): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Common Chiffchaffs (<fi>Phylloscopus collybita</fi>) Diverge in a Genomic Region Associated With Migration Differences in Willow Warblers (<fi>Phylloscopus trochilus</fi>)
Despite technological advances in both tracking and sequencing technologies, finding the genetic mechanisms behind migratory traits remains a challenge. Recent studies have shown that migratory direc...

New paper + new species: Tokara Leaf Warbler (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴). Genome-wide nuclear + mtDNA, backed by song differences, show it’s distinct from Ijima’s Leaf Warbler despite near-identical morphology. We recommend protection/Vulnerable status and monitoring. buff.ly/VpQBCro

Why do insects migrate? One major driver is resource limitation. In the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui), we show how resource cues reshape gene expression across development. @aleixpalahi.bsky.social @rogervilalab.bsky.social @k-nasvall.bsky.social

Out in MEC! New study led by @dariashipilina.bsky.social links resource limitation as a driver of migration in the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui). The authors show how resource cues reshape gene expression across development. Read more: buff.ly/dogof9L 📷: Daria Shipilina 1/2

Beautiful new paper showing a latitudinal migratory divide in Painted Ladies. Longitudinal divides in migratory species are quite common, but seeing a latitudinal gradient, as well as the chromosomal inversion causing it, is exciting! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Painted lady butterflies that migrate from Europe to the Mediterranean are not genetically distinct from those that migrate from Europe to West Africa. Instead, environmental cues likely determine migration distance. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...
