Ontogeny of long distance migration
The movements of some long-distance migrants are driven by innate compass headings that they follow on their first migrations (e.g., some birds and insects), while the movements of other first-time migrants are learned by following more experienced conspecifics (e.g., baleen whales). However, the overall roles of innate, learned, and social behaviors in driving migration goals in many taxa are ...
متن کاملLong-Distance Migration and Colonization of Transplanted Neural Stem Cells
A recent study reported remarkable survival and exuberant axon outgrowth from transplants of neural stem cells (NSCs) in a fibrin matrix with growth factors that were grafted into a complete spinal cord transection site in rats (Lu et al., 2012). As part of the NIH-supported replication project (Facilities of Research Excellence-Spinal Cord Injury), we repeated key parts of that study. Because ...
متن کاملXvMotion: Unified Virtual Machine Migration over Long Distance
Live virtual machine migration allows the movement of a running VM from one physical host to another with negligible disruption in service. This enables many compelling features including zero downtime hardware upgrades, dynamic resource management, and test to production service migration. Historically, live migration worked only between machines that shared a common local subnet and storage s...
متن کاملTracking long-distance songbird migration by using geolocators.
We mapped migration routes of migratory songbirds to the Neotropics by using light-level geolocators mounted on breeding purple martins (Progne subis) and wood thrushes (Hylocichla mustelina). Wood thrushes from the same breeding population occupied winter territories within a narrow east-west band in Central America, suggesting high connectivity of breeding and wintering populations. Pace of s...
متن کاملThe Monarch Butterfly Genome Yields Insights into Long-Distance Migration
We present the draft 273 Mb genome of the migratory monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and a set of 16,866 protein-coding genes. Orthology properties suggest that the Lepidoptera are the fastest evolving insect order yet examined. Compared to the silkmoth Bombyx mori, the monarch genome shares prominent similarity in orthology content, microsynteny, and protein family sizes. The monarch genom...
