Restoring habitat quality for Skylarks in winter cereal fields by manipulating the crop architecture
Conservation Science and PracticeLosses of suitable foraging and nesting habitats are key drivers for ongoing declines of farmland birds. For Eurasian Skylarks (Alauda arvensis), this is reflected by the lack of sparse and short vegetation structure (i.e., crop architecture).

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
