Interested in the evolutionary origins of plumage coloration? I'll be talking about the molecular underpinnings, and evolutionary origin of two plumage traits in a group of pervasively hybridizing and polymorphic 🎶🐦 Please drop in on Wed 12:15; Terrace 2B; S15 #ESEB2022

So excited to have our paper “Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system” out now in @CurrentBiology ! Check it out: https://t.co/jcYghCyH9a

[Simon Sin @sywsin]

🦜Very excited to share a study on the molecular mechanism for the vivid #parrot #plumage #color! We have discovered that a single enzyme is responsible for controlling the red and yellow 🪶#feather color in parrots. Now published in @ScienceMagazine (1/7)

What are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on @biorxivpreprint where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.

Very important paper! Indeed, I have also noticed that Structure/Admixture plots are often overinterpreted as introgression.

1/6 Switzerland currently promotes renewable energy from solar power. Alpine solar farms on sites with high irradiance and low cloud cover are ideal to prevent foreseeable energy deficits, but their effects on local biodiversity are still unknown #BOUasm24 #SESH5 @Vogelwarte_scie
