Abundance Redistribution Increases Predator‐Prey Interaction Potentials Among North American Birds
While species‐level responses to global changes have been widely observed, few studies quantify their impact on species interactions on broad spatial and temporal scales. Using 50 years of abundance data in North America, we investigated how the redistribution of birds affects the potential of predator‐prey interactions.

Behavioural Plasticity Is Associated With Climate Tracking in Birds
ABSTRACT Aim To test whether behavioural plasticity is associated with birds' ability to track climate change and whether this relationship differs among spatial gradients and range positions. Location Global. Time Period Range‐shift and feeding‐related behavioural plasticity observations compiled from 1890 to 2018. Major Taxa Studied Birds. Methods We

ABSTRACT Ancestral adaptive variation is thought to play an important role in facilitating adaptation to insular environments. However, to properly evaluate its role, we need to determine the age of genetic variation. In this study, we investigate the Iago sparrow (Passer iagoensis), a generalist endemic to the Cabo Verde archipelago, to understand how

Life Cycle Complexity Shapes Parasite Sharing Amongst Migratory and Resident Hosts
ABSTRACT Migratory animals are potentially important parasite dispersers. However, understanding the impact of host migration on parasite distributions is challenging because variation in parasite life histories can mediate dispersal potential. Furthermore, studies of parasite dispersal via host migration often compare parasites in different species of

Abstract We hypothesised that acute sprint exercise induces changes in adipose tissue (AT) gene expression related to lipolysis, and that growth hormone (GH) contributes to this. Healthy males and females were randomised to perform 3 × 30‐s all‐out cycle sprints (SIT, N = 12) or unloaded cycling (CON, N = 6).
