Why do Birds Suddenly Appear : A window into the Neural, Behavioural and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Songbird Migration
In the northern hemisphere, songbirds disappear and reappear at certain times of the year as part of their remarkable migration cycles. These migration cycles can encompass journeys of thousands of kilometres as North European songbirds make their way to the African continent to escape harsh winters. We know that songbirds inherit their migratory instructions such as the timing, distance, and direction of migration from their parents yet the identity of the genetic and molecular components that are involved remains elusive. This thesis presents an integrated study into addressing this open question.
