31 Worldwide distribution of great tits

32 Study populations Long-term study sites Wytham woods (Oxford) Veluwe & Oosterhout

33 Research questions 1. How different are great tits from Wytham and the Veluwe genetically? 2. Do great tit genomes in Wytham and the Veluwe show patterns of differential selection? 3. Can we link this to their ecology?

34 Population differentiation How different are great tits from Wytham and the Veluwe genetically? -measured with Fst Red allele rises in frequency in population 1 Blue allele rises in frequency in population 2 Before split After split

35 Fst = Population differentiation How different are great tits from Wytham and the Veluwe genetically? Fst = 0.006

36 Population differentiation

37 Research questions 1. How different are great tits from Wytham and the Veluwe genetically? 2. Do great tit genomes in Wytham and the Veluwe show patterns of differential selection? 3. Can we link this to their ecology?

38 patterns of differential selection Do great tit genomes in Wytham and the Veluwe show patterns of differential selection? -measured with Fst

39 patterns of differential selection

40 patterns of differential selection

41 patterns of differential selection What is in those peaks? Genes involved in... - Craniofacial development - Darwin finches beak shape - Collagen

42 patterns of differential selection

43 patterns of differential selection So we started measuring..

44 patterns of differential selection Bills are indeed longer, and increasing in the UK!

45 patterns of differential selection How to demonstrate selection for longer beaks? 1- from the genomics side 2- from fitness information

46 patterns of differential selection How to demonstrate selection for longer beaks? Genome-wide association study: Variants that are high frequency in the UK are associated with longer beaks!

47 patterns of differential selection How to demonstrate selection for longer beaks? 1- from the genomics side 2- from fitness information

48 patterns of differential selection How to demonstrate selection for longer beaks? More fledglings with two copies of the long-beak variant!

49 patterns of differential selection

50 patterns of differential selection

51 patterns of differential selection

52 patterns of differential selection ue=5&v=vagshcpp2eg

53 Activity at feeding site Activity at feeding site patterns of differential selection Increased activity at artificial feeder with longer beaks! Bill length

54 patterns of differential selection Increased activity at artificial feeder with longer beaks! Why????

55 patterns of differential selection Increased activity at artificial feeder with longer beaks! Why????... Results always raise more questions

56 And now... BSc Biologie: VU Amsterdam MSc Ecology: VU Amsterdam PhD thesis: Wageningen UR Postdoc: NIOO-KNAW Postdoc: Wageningen UR Now VENI: WUR-ABG AnE VU NIOO In CONSERVATION GENOMICS: What makes inbreeding so depressing
