Ethology, EarlyView.Black‐capped chickadees' chick‐a‐dee calls and fee‐bee songs are individually distinct. We used an operant conditioning Go/No‐go paradigm to train chickadees to discriminate among four individuals' chick‐a‐dee calls or fee‐bee songs. Chickadees successfully learned this discrimination rule.

Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)
Ibis, EarlyView.Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Extensive dispersal: Great Capricorn beetles dispersed up to 822 m in fragmented oak habitats. Sex‐independent movement: Dispersal distances were not significantly influenced by sex, body size or mating status. Conservation implications: Findings underscore the importance of large, connected habitats for beetle reintroductions.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...

Multi‐scalar habitat selection unveils ecological domains in wolves when selecting rendezvous sites
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Although habitat generalists, wolves may become particularly choosy when locating homesites (i.e., dens and rendezvous sites) especially in human‐modified landscapes. Using a multiscale approach, we investigated rendezvous sites (RV) selection in a historical stronghold of wolves in central Italy. Human infrastructure (i.e.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...
