Abstract excerpt
The genetic architecture and neurogenetics of animal migration remain poorly understood. With a sequenced genome and the establishment of reverse genetic tools, the monarch butterfly has emerged as a promising model to uncover the genetic basis of migratory behavior and associated traits. Here, we synthesize major advances made in the genetics of monarch migration, which includes the discovery of genomic regions...
