Sokolovskis et al. tracked genotyped hybrid willow warblers and find that autumn migration direction is consistent with a dominant inheritance pattern of two large effect loci

Team 'Willow Warbler' proudly presents:

Then some more very interesting #migration studies, for example the talks given by Zephyr Züst (pre-migratory movements), Violeta Caballero-Lopez (Migration genetics) and Arne Hegemann (Migration and the immune system).
