This trait complex is crucial for small birds whose migratory behaviors-such as directionality-are more likely innate, rather than being learned as in many longer-lived birds. Identifying causal genes has been a central goal of migration ecology, and this endeavor has been furthered by genome-scale comparisons. However, even the most successful studies of migration genetics have achie ...[more]
