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

Zoo 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.

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

Functional 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

Journal 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 ...

Early life exploration behaviour and life‐history loci are colocalized in an adaptive genomic hotspot in Atlantic salmon

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The genetic architecture of phenotypic correlations offers insights into how natural selection operates in the wild. Two functional phenotypes in Atlantic salmon, early life exploration and age‐at‐maturity, are correlated at an adaptive genomic hotspot, but through distinct genetic markers (SNPs), ruling out causality.

Changing food availability and its effect on the heritability of offspring size in woodland passerine birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Vatka et al. investigated how changing food abundance affects evolutionary potential of offsprings' body size traits in two woodland passerines. Food availability increased over the 25‐year‐long study period, accompanied by increases in body mass.
