Mixed genes mix up the migrations of hybrid birds




Mixed genes appear to drive hybrid birds to select more difficult routes than their parent species, according to new research from University of British Columbia zoologists.“The association between mixed genetic background and mixed migratory routes implies that there is strong genetic control of migratory behaviour,” says Darren Irwin, a professor in UBC’s Dept. of Zoology and senior author of the study. “These thrushes will allow us to actually look for the genes responsible for migratory behaviour.”
