Shifting Syllable Production in an Ex Situ Population of a Critically Endangered Songbird

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Bali mynas produced songs containing more syllables under increased anthropogenic disturbance. ABSTRACT Singing is an ecologically important behaviour for songbirds. Syllables function as the building blocks of birdsong, so changes to their production will have implications for overall song structure.

Cuticular hydrocarbons and collective response to water stress in a desert ant

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With the accelerating pace of climate change, we urgently need to understand how physiological traits shape behavioural plasticity in response to environmental stress.

Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: Limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide‐defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

Migratory connectivity and barrier‐crossing flights of Vermivora warblers are associated with synoptic weather conditions

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tracking data from ~10 g songbirds illuminate how weather conditions affect the initiation of long‐distance migratory flights across the Gulf of Mexico during autumn and spring. Seasonal differences and weak migratory connectivity near the Gulf suggest adaptive responses to weather, with future climate trends potentially reducing crossing favorability ...
