Rapid Coordinated Genomic Evolution in the Peregrine Falcon

Arms race implications: Counter-adaptations to prey flocking/zig-zag via stoop enhancements.

Discussion

Interpretation: Why rapid coordination fits Peregrine better than partial models.

Limitations: Data gaps in direct epistasis experiments; focus on falconids.

Broader implications: Applications to other raptors and conservation genomics.

Conclusion

Summary of findings: Rapid, coordinated evolution as a refined paradigm.

Future directions: Empirical tests via genome editing and field monitoring.
