Genetic and telomeric variability: Insights from a tropical avian hybrid zone

Vernasco, Ben J.; Long, Kira M.; Braun, Michael J.; Brawn, Jeffrey D. (2024)

Telomere lengths and telomere dynamics can correlate with lifespan, behaviour and individual quality. Such relationships have spurred interest in understanding variation in telomere lengths and their dynamics within and ...
Ongoing introgression of a secondary sexual plumage trait in a stable avian hybrid zone

Long, Kira M.; Rivera-Colón,Angel, G.; Bennett, Kevin F. P.; Catchen, Julian M.; Braun, Michael J.; Brawn, Jeffrey D. (2024)

Hybrid zones are dynamic systems where natural selection, sexual selection, and other evolutionary forces can act on reshuffled combinations of distinct genomes. The movement of hybrid zones, individual traits, or both are ...
Sequential introgression of a carotenoid processing gene underlies sexual ornament diversity in a genus of manakins

Lim, Haw Chuan; Bennett, Kevin F. P.; Justyn, Nicholas M.; Powers, Matthew J.; Long, Kira M.; Kingston, Sarah E.; Lindsay, Willow R.; Pease, James B.; Fuxjager, Matthew J.; Bolton, Peri E.; Balakrishnan, Christopher N.; Day, Lainy B.; Parsons, Thomas J.; Brawn, Jeffrey D.; Hill, Geoffrey E.; Braun, Michael J. (2024)

In a hybrid zone between two tropical lekking birds, yellow male plumage of one species has introgressed asymmetrically replacing white plumage of another via sexual selection. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the ...
