Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony

Oikos, EarlyView.
The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

On the spatial clustering of behavioural phenotypes: matching movement tactics with landscape structure in a large herbivore

Oikos, EarlyView.
In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.
