Migration phenology and breeding success are predicted by methylation of a photoperiodic gene in the barn swallow
Individuals often considerably differ in the timing of their life-cycle events, with major consequences for individual fitness, and, ultimately, for population dynamics. Phenological variation can arise from genetic effects but also from epigenetic modifications in DNA expression and translation. Here, we tested if CpG methylation at the poly-Q and 5'-UTR loci of the photoperiodic Clock gene pr...
متن کاملTranscontinental migratory connectivity predicts parasite prevalence in breeding populations of the European barn swallow.
Parasites exert a major impact on the eco-evolutionary dynamics of their hosts and the associated biotic environment. Migration constitutes an effective means for long-distance invasions of vector-borne parasites and promotes their rapid spread. Yet, ecological and spatial information on population-specific host-parasite connectivity is essentially lacking. Here, we address this question in a s...
متن کاملBarn swallow chicks beg more loudly when broodmates are unrelated.
Parents of a variety of animal species distribute critical resources among their offspring according to the intensity of begging displays. Kin selection theory predicts that offspring behave more selfishly in monopolizing parental care as relatedness with competitors declines. We cross-fostered two eggs between barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) clutches and compared the loudness of begging between...
متن کاملBreeding Characteristics of the Barn Swallow (hirundo Rustica) in Nw Croatia
Dolenec, Z.: Breeding characteristics of the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) in NW Croatia. Nat. Croat., Vol. 11, No. 4., 439–445, 2002, Zagreb. The research was carried out in the village of Mokrice (46°00'N, 15°55'E) in NW Croatia during 1998–1999. Egg length averaged 19.16 mm, egg breadth 13.72 mm, egg volume 1840.8 mm3, egg shape index 1.40 and egg weight 1.81 g (during both years). The nest...
متن کاملLow Variation in the Polymorphic Clock Gene Poly-Q Region Despite Population Genetic Structure across Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) Populations
Recent studies of several species have reported a latitudinal cline in the circadian clock gene, Clock, which influences rhythms in both physiology and behavior. Latitudinal variation in this gene may hence reflect local adaptation to seasonal variation. In some bird populations, there is also an among-individual association between Clock poly-Q genotype and clutch initiation date and incubatio...
