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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Predator activity, proactive anti‐predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Habitat and land‐use intensity shape moth community structure across temperate forest and grassland

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how land‐use intensity, plant diversity, weather and artificial light interact to shape moth diversity across forests and grasslands. Using 300 plots across Germany, we highlight habitat‐specific responses and beta‐diversity patterns, providing novel cross‐habitat insights at an unprecedented spatial scale for temperate nocturnal ...

Life‐history trade‐offs and environmental variability shape reproductive demography in a mountain ungulate

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems are changing rapidly with implications for the demography of alpine organisms. Through long‐term study, we reveal novel insights about the interplay between life‐history trade‐offs and environmental variation, and how they shape the reproductive demography of climate‐sensitive wildlife.

Temperature influences pollinators' choice of floral partners independently of community composition

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper presents novel research that empirically demonstrates a direct link between temperature and plant–pollinator interaction patterns, independently of changes to community composition in either guild. We find that even without changes to community composition, pollinators including bumblebees exhibit different interactions across temperatures ...
