Animals constantly process environmental information to carry out routine activities such as locating food, selecting habitat, recognizing mates, finding prey and avoiding predators in …
Male-limit sexual signals are often thought to impact fitness by increasing his attractiveness or competitive abilities. In a colorful and sexually dimorphic group of …
Weather radars “see” more than just weather, they continuously register also biological activity in the air. This has recently been used in many studies …
Many passerines initiate migration soon after sunset and fly until early morning. It is however unclear how this pattern is affected by the large …
Pollinators are key drivers of floral evolution through natural selection on floral traits. Co-flowering plants within a community often share pollinators which can generate …
To navigate purposefully, an animal must align its body orientation with its intended target and adjust its course accordingly. In the insect world, this …
The most well-known life-history trade-off involves the survival cost of reproduction – reproduction (e.g., fertility, number of eggs) is commonly ‘costly’ in terms of …
Much of what we know about the drivers of plant phenotypic divergence and fitness stems from studies that focus on specialized pollination systems. Much …
We have previously found empirical evidence for antagonistic coevolution between the sex chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster (see Lund-Hansen et al 2021, https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2003359118) and are …
Birds observed outside their normal distribution range, vagrants, have fascinated bird watchers for more than a century. The causes behind vagrancy are probably many …
The uptake of pollinator-friendly farming practices has been promoted as a tool to fight the decline of wild pollinators in agricultural areas. However, for …
Salamanders are the only vertebrates able to regenerate their limbs. The cellular mechanisms that enable this remarkable process are just beginning to be elucidated. …
In our laboratory, we specialize in developing innovative methods to unravel the complexities of host-symbiont interactions in eukaryotic microbes, employing cutting-edge single-cell transcriptomics. The …
The captivating world of porifera, commonly referred to as sponges, beckons exploration within the field of molecular biology. As some of the most primitive …
The intriguing realm of porifera, known as sponges, beckons exploration in molecular biology. As among the most primitive multicellular organisms, sponges provide crucial insights …
The dynamic world of porifera, commonly known as sponges, presents a captivating avenue for exploration within molecular biology. Sponges, considered among the most primitive …
Do you want to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that underpin the diversification of species and the phylogenetic structure of emerging …
Climate change has affected the timing of many ecological events, from tree leaf out to bird migration. These changes in phenology can cause mismatched …
Current state-of-the-art orientation behaviour studies in captive migratory birds are limited to 1-hour assays. In our OriLAB facility, we can measure the bird’s position …
