Agricultural intensification is a major driver in species declines, with changes in land use resulting in widespread alteration of resource availability. An increase in anthropogenic food resources, alongside decreasing natural resources, has resulte...

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Erithacus rubecula (the European robin; Chordata; Aves; Passeriformes; Turdidae). The genome sequence is 1.09 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 36 chromosomal pse... Read More about The genome sequence of the European robin, Erithacus rubecula Linnaeus 1758.
