Trade‐offs between surviving and thriving: A careful balance of physiological limitations and reproductive effort under thermal stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Balancing survival and reproduction presents a fundamental evolutionary challenge, especially in extreme and unpredictable environments. Thermoregulatory behaviour, in particular, imposes a costly trade‐off, as time spent maintaining optimal body temperature precludes ...

Cumulative heatwave stress disrupts thermal homeostasis and plumage structure in a Mediterranean passerine

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

MCH and thermoregulation

, 2018
Homeothermy represents a remarkable step in animal evolution, albeit at a very high cost in terms of metabolic demand. The maintenance of core body temperature in mammals represents one of the prominent physiological components contributing to the basal ...

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Expression and mechanisms of behavioral plasticity in large mammals

Ecosphere
Behavioral plasticity, the alteration of behavior in response to stimuli, is becoming increasingly important in the context of human‐induced rapid environmental change.

Snowmelt predicts earlier breeding across the latitudinal range of an Arctic nesting seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle)

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐year monitoring of the crevice‐nesting High Arctic seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle), across four colonies spanning distinct climatic regimes revealed that snowmelt timing is a key and consistent driver of breeding phenology. Earlier snowmelt advances access to nesting habitat, enabling birds to initiate reproduction sooner. These findings show
