An avian model for understanding adaptations and modulatory drivers of avian migration (MIGRADAPT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Migratory birds have evolved exceptional adaptations: they can invert their circadian rhythms turning from diurnal to nocturnal, undergo rapid changes in body mass and fat stores, and cope with repeated cycles of fasting and feeding as they alternate between sustained migratory flights and refuelling stopovers. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying such remarkable adaptations remain ...

The architecture of adaptation to novel environments (ARCHADAPT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

One of the central goals in evolutionary biology is to understand adaptation. Experimental evolution represents a highly promising approach to study adaptation. In this proposal, a freshly collected D. simulans population will be allowed to adapt to laboratory conditions under two different temperature regimes: hot (27°C) and cold (18°C). The trajectories of adaptation to these novel environments ...

Evolution of the thermal plasticity of gene expression: a reverse evolution experiment using Drosophila simulans. (ReversePlasticity)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a genotype to express distinct phenotypes in different environments, is assumed to facilitate individuals coping with new or rapidly changing environments. In the context of climate change, the phenotypic response to temperature has received particular attention since thermal plasticity is affecting the survival of populations and species distribution. Althoug ...

Optimisation of early reproductive success in dairy cattle through the definition of new traits and improved reproductive biotechnology (FECUND)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

"Good fertility is essential for the sustainability of livestock production. Of all livestock sectors, fertility of dairy cattle is raising the greatest cause for concern. Cow fertility has declined, particularly in Holstein cattle, from 80% pregnancy to first service 20 years ago to less than 40% today. Poor fertility is one of the main reasons for early culling, such that modern dairy cows compl ...
