The rate of telomere loss is related to maximum lifespan in birds
Published in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological sciences (05-03-2018)“…Telomeres are highly conserved regions of DNA that protect the ends of linear chromosomes. The loss of telomeres can signal an irreversible change to a cell's…”

Integrated molecular and behavioural data reveal deep circadian disruption in response to artificial light at night in male Great tits (Parus major)
Published in Scientific reports (28-01-2022)“…Globally increasing levels of artificial light at night (ALAN) are associated with shifting rhythms of behaviour in many wild species. However, it is unclear…”

The Genomics of Circadian Timing in a Wild Bird, the Great Tit (Parus major)
Published in Frontiers in ecology and evolution (03-05-2019)“…Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous among taxa and are essential for coping with recurrent daily events, leading to selection on the properties of the clock…”

Telomere dynamics in relation to experimentally increased locomotion costs and fitness in great tits
Published in Molecular ecology (01-12-2022)“…Evidence that telomere length (TL) and dynamics can be interpreted as proxy for ‘life stress’ experienced by individuals stems largely from correlational…”

Strategic promiscuity helps avoid inbreeding at multiple levels in a cooperative breeder where both sexes are philopatric
Published in Molecular ecology (01-11-2011)“…In cooperative breeders, the tension between the opposing forces of kin selection and kin competition is at its most severe. Although philopatry facilitates…”

Ultralong telomeres shorten with age in nestling great tits but are static in adults and mask attrition of short telomeres
Published in Molecular ecology resources (01-05-2019)“…Telomere length (TL) is increasingly being used as a biomarker of senescence, but measuring telomeres remains a challenge. Within tissue samples, TL varies…”

Heritability of telomere length in the Zebra Finch
Published in Journal of ornithology (01-10-2015)“…Telomere length predicts survival in birds, and many stressors that presumably reduce fitness have also been linked to telomere length. The response to…”
