New story on the #AvianHybrids blog! Inbred House Sparrow nestlings have shorter telomeres avianhybrids.wordpress.com/2023/01/11/inb… Based on the Conservation Genetics paper by Michael L. Pepke et al. | #ornithology

In this new study in Molecular Ecology we find that early-life telomere length covaries with key life-history traits and may scale with chromosome length across bird species CBD at NTNU Dan Eisenberg #telomere onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

24 years of blood sampling house sparrows shows how individual telomere biology is highly dynamic and influenced by both genetic and environmental variation under natural conditions. 🐦🧬📢 New paper in Scientific Reports by CBD House Sparrow Project CBD at NTNU nature.com/articles/s4159…

In the end, what’s the problem? Read about how chromosome ends may shape the life of wild birds on the @NTNUNaturalSci blog by CBD House Sparrow Project and CBD at NTNU 🐣🧬🐥#telomeres ntnu.no/blogger/teknat…

Even though house sparrows nest in - houses - catching them all for ringing and blood sampling can be challenging 🐦 CBD House Sparrow Project

Check out our new publication in Behavioral Ecology on the relationship between extra-pair paternity and paternal care in birds! 🐦 🪺 Great work led by Jørgen Søraker with Michael L. Pepke, Jonathan Wright and myself! academic.oup.com/beheco/advance…

Pleased to share our new paper on extra-pair paternity (EPP) and paternal care in birds in Behavioral Ecology! We find a negative association between EPP and paternal care when comparing bird species. Check it out! Jon Wright Fredrik Hanslin and Michael L. Pepke academic.oup.com/beheco/advance…

This is a great example of how "correlates with" can be misconstrued in more general dialogue as meaning "can be used to estimate"... "Telomere length is not a useful tool for chronological age estimation in animals" in the journal BioEssays: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…

New paper out in Ecology and Evolution led by Peter Sjolte Ranke. Here we go through the long-distance dispersal events in the house sparrow, which is known for being highly sedentary, and discuss their potential impact! CBD House Sparrow Project Michael L. Pepke doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Exploring the potential of host epigenetic regulation of gut microbiota in Trends in Microbiology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We now know hosts respond differently to identical microbiome treatments; it is now important we also seek to understand the mechanisms explaining why. Michael L. Pepke, backed by Søren Blikdal Hansen and I, propose telomeres as one such mechanism: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jkff3QxxSux…
