Although recent achievements in genomics will evolve migratory genetics research from a phenotypic to a molecular approach, fully sequenced and annotated genomes of migratory species are still lacking.
Before his job, Hayhow completed his PhD at the University of East Anglia, working with a team researching migratory connectivity in the Black-tailed Godwit.
The bacterium that causes leprosy spreads through the body by converting nerve cells into stem cells with migratory properties, according to research published today in the journal Cell.
Their findings – such as the discovery of several news species and fresh research on migratory patterns – will be released during the upcoming screening.
To effectively assess population structure within the highly migratory billfishes, future genetic research will not only require larger sample sizes, both in terms of individuals and molecular markers, but also the development of biologically meaningful sampling designs that incorporate information on the movement patterns and life histories of these pelagic fishes.
This paper describes these achievements, with a focus on the partnership's five major areas of emerging infectious disease research: wild migratory birds, backyard poultry systems, socio-economic impact, policy analysis, and control measures.
To the relief of all, the stork turned out to be bearing nothing but a wildlife tracker, apparently fixed to its feathers by French scientists researching birds' migratory paths.
The best example is new research on the migratory patterns of the Arctic tern, using a minute electronic device designed by engineers at the British Antarctic Survey.
Until the ICJ ruling, Japan had been allowed to slaughter just under 1,000 whales a year to research their reproductive, migratory and other habits with a view to resuming sustainable commercial whaling.
