Polish Press Agency, The Polish Society for the Protection of Birds, and Journal of Animal Ecology write about research of cooperative team of Population Ecology Lab and Charles University in Prague. The research is about avoiding competition in sibling species of birds. http://naukawpolsce.pap.pl/aktualnosci/news,28896,konkurencja-w-stylu-slowika.html https://otop.org.pl/2018/03/22/mechanizmy-unikania-konkurencji-u-blisko-spokrewnionych-gatunkow-mppl/ https://journalofanimalecology.wordpress.com/2018/03/21/how-do-birds-avoid-their-sibling-species-competitors/
The article by Lechosław Kuczyński and Anna Skoracka (Population Ecology Lab) and cooperators from the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. The study shows how birds avoid their sibling-species competitors. Data were collected by skilled volunteers within the Common Breeding Bird Survey in Poland. The link to [...]
In "New Phytologist" journal the article co-authored by Michał Bogdziewicz (Department of Systematic Zoology) entitled "Correlated seed failure as an environmental veto to synchronize reproduction of masting plants" was published. What Michał talks about the research: Variable, synchronized seed production, called masting, is a widespread reproductive strategy in plants. Numerous ideas were proposed to explain [...]
The article by Natalia Olejnik, Zbigniew Celka and Piotr Szkudlarz (Department of Plant Taxonomy) and Myroslava V. Shevera (M. G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, NAS of Ukraine) was published in “Review of Paleobotany and Palynology”. The article focuses on the taxonomical importance of morphological traits of spores in the family Ophioglossaceae (Psilotopsida). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034666717302075
PAP describes research of international team led by Prof. Jacek Radwan on host – parasite coevolution published in PNAS http://naukawpolsce.pap.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C27945%2Cwreszcie-podejrzano-ewolucyjny-wyscig-zbrojen-gospodarz-pasozyt.html
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the most polymorphic gene families in the vertebrate genome, with natural selection actively promoting and maintaining variability. The exact mechanism/mechanisms responsible for these characteristics re-main unclear, but identifying them is fundamental to our understanding of host–pathogen dynamics. Using targeted crosses of the model Trinidadian guppy, a tractable [...]
