Which genes control the migratory behaviour of birds? This is a question that evolutionary biologist Miriam Liedvogel and her team have been working on for a very long time.

In a detailed article by the Max Planck Society, you can learn more about the scientist and the research in her working group on the genetic basis of orientation and navigation abilities in migratory birds.

A huge thanks goes to Melina Mörsdorf for the outstanding photografic contribution to the article.
