How the house sparrow came to be

How the house sparrows came to be
Sep. 27, 2018 9:16 PM
House sparrows are closely associated with humans and are found in most parts of the world. By investigating the DNA of several species of sparrows, researchers at CEES have shown that the house sparrow diverged from a sparrow in the Middle East – and started to digest starch-rich foods – when humans developed agriculture some 11 000 years ago.

Spawning migration in cod – a question of trade-offs
Aug. 7, 2018
The extensive spawning migration of Northeast Arctic cod was suggested to be counterbalanced by increased early-offspring survival, however we find in a study published in July in Marine Ecology Progress Series , that early offspring growth should be considered as another factor explaining this long-distance migration.
