EVOLUTION OF ENLARGED BODY SIZE OF COAL TITS PARUS ATER IN GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION FROM TWO LARGER COMPETITORS, THE CRESTED TIT PARUS CRISTATUS AND THE WILLOW TIT PARUS MONTANUS, ON SIX SCANDINAVIAN ISLANDS

Evolution of enlarged body size of coal tits Parus ater in geographic isolation from two larger competitors, the crested tit Parus cristatus and the willow tit Parus montanus, on six Scandinavian islands

Here, we report that on six widely separated Scandinavian Queen HP Foundation islands, the coal tit Parus ater has evolved morphologically in the direction of two absent competitors, the crested tit P.cristatus and the willow tit P.montanus, to the effect that it is up to 10% larger in linear dimensions than conspecifics on the adjacent Swedish mai

Spatially resolved transcriptomics in immersive environments

Abstract Spatially resolved transcriptomics is an emerging class of high-throughput technologies that enable biologists to systematically investigate the expression of genes along with spatial information.Upon data acquisition, one major hurdle is the subsequent interpretation and visualization of the datasets acquired.To address this challenge, VR
