History of the Human Sciences, 2017 A recent dispute between Richard Dawkins and Edward O. Wilson concerning fundamental concepts in sociobiology is examined. It is argued that sociobiology has not fared well since the 1970s, and that its survival as a ‘scientific’ perspective has been increasingly tenuous.

Age‐specific survival of reintroduced swift fox in Badlands National Park and surrounding lands
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 In 2003, a reintroduction program was initiated at Badlands National Park (BNP), South Dakota, USA, with swift foxes (Vulpes velox) translocated from Colorado and Wyoming, USA, as part of a restoration effort to recover declining swift fox populations ...

Surviving in the city: higher apparent survival for urban birds but worse condition on noisy territories [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2018 AbstractAnthropogenic landscapes and soundscapes impose strong selective pressures on a number of species, which can manifest in changes in vocalizations, foraging strategies, predator vigilance, and reproductive success. However, few studies have examined survival rates, a major component of fitness, across urban landscapes and soundscapes.

Morphological and Behavioral Correlates of Long-Term Bird Survival in Selectively Logged Forest
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The response of biodiversity to land-use change has been a central focus in applied ecological research for close to half a century. However, despite a vast body of literature, our understanding of how species' traits influence demographic vital rates in
