Chromosomal Inversion Associated With Diet Differences in Common Quails Sharing Wintering Grounds

A large chromosomal inversion in common quails (Coturnix coturnix) is associated with phenotypic traits. In a wintering population in southern Spain, we found all three karyotypes coexisting but show...

So instead of only residents, wintering quails in southern Spain are a mix of three karyotypes coexisting, but with differences in morphology, migration, and diet.

Celia Vinagre-Izquierdo @celiavinagre.bsky.social · Aug 29

But their diets differed 🪶
Stable isotope data revealed that quails without the inversion could be using different resources compared to quails with the inversion.

Celia Vinagre-Izquierdo @celiavinagre.bsky.social · Aug 29

But we found that all three karyotypes coexist in this wintering area!

Celia Vinagre-Izquierdo @celiavinagre.bsky.social · Aug 29

We hypothesized that the presence of resident common quails in the south of the Iberian Peninsula is the consequence of the high frequency of this chromosomal inversion.

Durint winter, when only residents were expected to remain, If our hypothesis was right, most quails should carry the inversion.

Celia Vinagre-Izquierdo @celiavinagre.bsky.social · Aug 29

A large chromosomal inversion (>1200 genes!) in common quails (Coturnix coturnix) is linked to phenotypic traits:
🔹 Bigger body size
🔹 Darker throat pigmentation
🔹 Reduced flight efficiency
🔹 Limited migration.

El hospital llegó a ponerse en contacto con Jordi Figuerola de la @ebdonana.bsky.social para descartar la presencia de mosquitos transmisores de la malaria en la zona.
