Geographic differences in the phenology of gonadal development and moult, but not of egg laying, are genetically based in a small songbird | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
To forecast how fast populations can adapt to climate change, it is essential to determine the evolutionary potential of different life-cycle stages under selection. In birds, timing of gonadal development and moult are primarily regulated by photoperiod, ...

I am talking at #BOU2024 about biological rhythms and clocks of urban and forest birds. I show that city birds may be less sensitive to ALAN than forest birds. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1...
But our new common garden results suggest this is not related to genetic clock differences.
