Identifying genes that are important for embryo development is a crucial first step towards understanding their many functions in driving the ordered growth, differentiation and organogenesis of embryos. It can also shed light on origins developmental disease congenital abnormalities. Current international efforts to examine gene function mouse provide unique opportunity pinpoint involved embryogenesis, owing emergence embryonic lethal knockout mutants. Through internationally coordinated...
The "challenge hypothesis" posits that when established social orders are challenged, plasma testosterone (T) in socially monogamous breeding male birds will temporarily increase to facilitate aggressive responses. However, not all conform predictions. To expand upon past findings, we examined effects of direct territorial challenge on T levels the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus). We found simulated intrusions caused a decline during both territory establishment and laying/incubation....
The main goals and challenges for the life science communities in Open Science framework are to increase reuse sustainability of data resources, software tools, workflows, especially large-scale data-driven research computational analyses. Here, we present key findings, procedures, effective measures recommendations generating establishing sustainable resources based on collaborative, cross-disciplinary work done within EOSC-Life (European Cloud Life Sciences) consortium. Bringing together...
Abstract Subspecies complexes may provide valuable insights into the early stages of speciation process. The bluethroat ( Luscinia svecica ) consists many morphologically distinct subspecies that differ most strikingly in ornamental colour pattern male throat. We investigated genetic and phenotypic differentiation this complex, using (i) microsatellite genotyping (11 loci) a sample 364 individuals from populations Europe Asia, (ii) spectrometric morphological measurements 131 museum skin...

Migration speed in passerines is generally assumed to be higher spring than autumn. So far this has been only shown for the western Palaearctic‐Afrotropic migration system. I compiled published records of movements Siberian stonechats Saxicola torquata maura Central and northern Asia reconstruct their spatiotemporal movement patterns region estimate My does not differ from that autumn lower reported speeds European passerines. Northward progression seems constrained by prevailing...
