Precipitation shapes colour polymorphism in a widespread spider
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Colour polymorphism, the presence of multiple colour variants within a population, is a common example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and has served as a model for studying drivers of diversity.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009 Predation has been hypothesized to be a strong selective force structuring communities of tropical lizards. Comparisons of perch height and size-based predation frequencies can provide a unique window into understanding how predation might shape habitat ...

Relationship between spatial and social phenotypes in an avian scavenger
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.A method is applied to distinguish interaction rates that would be expected given animals' movements from those that exceed expected values due to incidental contact. The relationship between space use and both observed and non‐incidental social network position varies between social situations.

Boldness and niche width structure spatial interactions in a natural rodent community
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that individual behavioural differences (boldness) structure spatial encounter patterns within a natural multi‐species community. By linking personality to space use and interaction structure, our study demonstrates how intraspecific variation can scale up to shape community‐level processes.

Physiological responses of Lizard, Toad and Pigeon during rainy season in tropical savanna climate
Journal of Basic and Applied ZoologyBackground This study investigated the adaptation mechanisms of Pigeons, Toads and Lizards during the rainy season in tropical savanna climates. Male Agama Lizards (Agama agama), Afep Pigeons (Columba unicincta) and Toads (Sclerophrys perreti) were ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our findings reveal that breeding phenology of the common lizard is shaped by strong thermal plasticity, body size effects, constant selection for earlier parturition, but low heritability. This suggests that phenological responses to climate change in this species, and likely in other squamates, will predominantly arise through plastic rather than ...
