Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Early‐life stasis in partial seasonal migration is underpinned by among‐cohort variation in migratory plasticity and selective disappearance

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Changes to mean early‐life phenotypes are fundamentally driven by joint dynamics of plasticity and selection, but such effects are rarely quantified. We show that cross‐cohort stasis in the degree of partial migration is underpinned by substantial within‐ and among‐cohort variation in plasticity and selection on migration, indicating high environmental
