Article Synopsis
- Behavioral ecology is a field that integrates multiple disciplines but has been slow to incorporate genomics, which can address broader questions beyond identifying specific genes for behaviors.
- The study focuses on avian brood parasitism, showcasing how genomic tools can enhance our understanding of coevolutionary dynamics in host-parasite interactions.
- Through examples, the research aims to answer key questions about the evolution of parasitism and host defenses while advocating for collaboration between behavioral and molecular ecologists to deepen our understanding of natural phenomena.
Snd1 is an evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding protein implicated in several regulatory processes in gene expression including activation of transcription, mRNA splicing, and microRNA decay. Here, we have investigated the outcome of gene deletion in the mouse. The knockout mice are viable showing no gross abnormalities apart from decreased fertility, organ and body size, and decreased number of myeloid cells concomitant with decreased expression of granule protein genes.

The long-term decline of snowfall is one of the most dramatic abiotic changes in boreal regions, with potential to alter species communities and shape future ecosystems. However, the effects of snow cover on habitat-specific abundances remain unclear for many taxa.
