Abstract Gene flow in birds can be affected by urbanization depending on natural history traits and adaptability to habitat change.Contrasting results can be expected when comparing species with opposite resilience to urbanization.In this study, we assessed genetic diversity and structure for two bird species, the urban avoider white-eared ground-s
Summary: We present here PhotoGal4, a phytochrome B-based optogenetic switch for fine-tuned spatiotemporal control of gene expression in Drosophila explants.This switch integrates the light-dependent interaction between phytochrome B and m&m speckled eggs PIF6 from plants with regulatory elements from the yeast Gal4/UAS system.We found that PhotoGa
When we assume that contemporary management actions will be effective against the global rise of emerging alien species, we can develop management complacency, which leads to potentially disastrous outcomes for native biodiversity.Here, we propose the use of the probability of detection as a metric to assess the feasibility of management actions fo
