This project explores the genetic and physiological mechanisms behind the adaptations of migratory birds. By studying two avian species, it aims to identify how these birds switch between migratory and sedentary states, focusing on gene expression and hormonal influences.
Migratory birds have evolved exceptional adaptations: they can invert their circadian rhythms turning from diurnal to nocturnal, undergo rapid changes in body mass and fat stores, and cope with repeated cycles of fasting and feeding as they alternate between sustained migratory flights and refuelling stopovers.
The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying such remarkable adaptations remain poorly understood.Studies on small, wild-caught Passerines have unravelled several aspects of migrat…
