Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Prospecting for informed dispersal: Reappraisal of a widespread but overlooked ecological process

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Prospecting for a future breeding site is an essential component of informed natal and breeding dispersal. It allows individuals to reduce the uncertainty of their environment by gathering personal and social information about the local quality of alternative breeding areas and make informed emigration and settlement decisions.

The development of support intuitions and object causality in juvenile Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractKnowledge about the causal relationship between objects has been studied extensively in human infants, and more recently in adult animals using differential looking time experiments. How knowledge about object support develops in non-human animals has yet to be explored.

Food sharing and social cognition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many non-human animals share food with each other, with kin, mates, and other unrelated individuals. When individuals share food with others they lose a valuable resource.

Potential entry pathways for 25 vector‐borne disease agents

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This Scientific Report identifies the potential entry pathways for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) into currently free EU Member States. The diseases comprise 12 listed under the Animal Health Law (AHL) and 13 non‐listed diseases, selected using predefined eligibility criteria.

Provision of supplementary food for wild birds may increase the risk of local nest predation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In countries such as the UK, USA and Australia, approximately half of households provide supplementary food for wild birds, making this the public’s most common form of active engagement with nature.

Conservation Hotspots of Quercus castaneifolia Revealed Through the Integration of Genetic Diversity and Landscape Connectivity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study integrates the genetic characterization of chestnut‐leaved oak across its distribution range in the Hyrcanian forests with landscape connectivity modeling to identify regions of high evolutionary and ecological importance. Two main core areas, located in the western and eastern parts of the Hyrcanian forests, were identified and connected by

Urban birds' detectability is affected by inter‐ and intraspecific variation in shyness

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 711-722, April 2026.
Detection probabilities differ between bird species as a function of their life history and ecological and behavioural traits, inevitably introducing bias in their abundance and occupancy estimates. However, the effects of behavioural traits such as species shyness and vigilance on detectability remain poorly understood.
