Our latest findings on #ruffs:
A single gene underlies male mating morphs in ruff sandpipers, a new Science study finds. The results show how evolutionary changes in a single gene's structure, sequence, and regulation can drive significant diversity within a single species. Learn more in our latest issue:…
How to get rid of too much testosterone? A new study in @ScienceMagazine by @chorlnev found a single gene in ruffs that down-regulates testosterone directly in their blood. Find out more: bi.mpg.de/news/2025-01-k… Scientific publication: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
