The impact of diet quality on the velocity, morphology and normality of sperm in the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata

Callum S. McDiarmid et al.

Summary: Sperm traits, including midpiece length, velocity, and motility, can be influenced by factors such as diet quality and seminal fluid composition. This study found that diet quality reduction led to a significant decrease in sperm midpiece length in wild-derived captive zebra finches. Additionally, both experimental groups showed a decrease in sperm velocity and motile sperm proportion over time, suggesting that there are other important determinants of sperm velocity.

Assortative mating and epistatic mating-trait architecture induce complex movement of the crow hybrid zone

Dirk Metzler et al.

Summary: This study used a mathematical model to investigate the effects of assortative mating on hybrid-zone dynamics, finding that assortative mating can maintain steep clines in mating-trait loci without generalizing to genome-wide reproductive isolation.

Asymmetric introgression reveals the genetic architecture of a plumage trait

Georgy A. Semenov et al.

Summary: Genome-wide variation in introgression rates across hybrid zones offers a powerful opportunity for studying population differentiation. This study on head plumage coloration trait displacement in white wagtail subspecies reveals a simple genetic basis involving two small genetic regions, with partially dominant and epistatic interactions explaining the decoupling of this sexual signal from other plumage traits.

Climate Shapes the Geographic Distribution and Introgressive Spread of Color Ornamentation in Common Wall Lizards

Maravillas Ruiz Minano et al.

Summary: The study found that climate has a significant impact on the color ornamentation of common wall lizards, with exaggeration of color ornamentation in hot and dry environments. The findings also suggest that climate influences the strength of sexual selection, which in turn affects the spread of this trait.

Evaluating evidence of mitonuclear incompatibilities with the sex chromosomes in an avian hybrid zone

Kelsie A. Lopez et al.

Summary: Through the study of long-tailed finches in Australia, it was discovered that there are discrepancies in the geographical locations of mitochondrial and Z chromosome admixture in hybrid zones, indicating the presence of sex chromosome incompatibilities and mitonuclear mismatches.
