Abstract Predation risk varies through space and time due to changing refuge quality, predator communities, and prey traits. Despite this, ecological research is often focused on measuring average predation risk at the community level. While this can give important information about overall trophic transfer and ecological efficiency, it ignores ...

1922 is typically read as the defining year of literary modernism: the year of The Waste Land, Ulysses, and Jacob’s Room. But what else was published that year? And how can we understand the field of literary production in 1922 as extending beyond those canonical modernist monuments?

Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception

Are Toxic Butterflies More Easily Detected by Human ‘Predators’?
Aposematic signals are often thought to be conspicuous and stable across environments. Yet, butterflies can have distinct colours on their dorsal and ventral sides which contradict this prediction. We found that despite toxic butterflies having similar detectability on both sides, only dorsal detectability positively correlated with toxicity.

Group Size Dependent Selection for Cooperation Versus Freeloading in Collective Chemical Defence
Theory predicts that cooperation in public goods should be favoured in smaller groups because individuals gain a larger share of the benefits, but empirical evidence remains scarce outside microbial systems. Using collectively defending larvae of the pine sawfly Neodiprion sertifer, we show that survival benefits of cooperation are stronger in small ...

ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental pollutants can disrupt the gut microbiota, but how pollutants impact natural, seasonal changes in wildlife gut microbiota remains unknown. We quantified how exposure to radionuclides affected temporal changes in the gut microbiota of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) inhabiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ ...

Skin Colour in Salamanders Is Modulated by Both Epitranscriptomic Methylation and Gene Expression
ABSTRACT Animal colouration is a key trait in organismal biology, being involved in natural and sexual selection, competition, and communication. Amphibians use their highly diverse colouration in many ecological interactions, but the molecular bases of their colour variation are less well understood than in other vertebrate systems. While the genetic,

We investigate the effect of previous mating opportunities with con‐ and heterospecifics on the subsequent mating decisions of male Lygaeus simulans seed bugs. We found that males were less likely to copulate with both con‐ and heterospecific females if they had previously encountered a heterospecific female, and more likely to copulate with ...
