Snow cover plays a critical role for many alpine animals, but our understanding of how snow effects vary with elevation is limited. The white‐winged snowfinch is restricted to high‐elevation habitats, relying on snowfields, edges of melting snow patches, and short‐sward alpine grasslands to collect invertebrates for nestlings.

Game over: Conflict resolution through strategic growth in an invertebrate
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In some multimember groups with unequal partitioning of reproduction and poor breeding opportunities outside the group, natural selection has favoured the evolution of adaptive mechanisms such as strategic growth modulation.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many reptiles inhabit deserts where extreme heat and aridity make it imperative to minimize evaporative water loss (EWL) in order to maintain a water balance. We compared the EWL of desert versus Mediterranean snakes and the content and composition of their epidermal ...

Resource supplementation later in the colony cycle improves real‐world bumblebee colony survival
Our findings suggest that B. terrestris colonies became food‐limited towards the end of their colony cycle in early summer. We suggest ecological intensification through planting native wildflower species may be more effective if it targets this flowering period, particularly within heavily arable areas, and that a staggered patchwork of mowing or ...
