Effects of Regional Weather and Agricultural Practices on the Nest Survival of Northern Lapwings in France. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study monitored nests of lapwings with cameras and weekly visits at inland sites in eastern France, and at coastal sites in northern France. About a third of nests failed; the main causes of failure were agricultural equipment (11%), abandonment (8.2%), and depredation (7.5%). Estimates of nest survival for a 27‐day incubation were 66% and 59% for

A mechanistic model of endotherm hibernation applied to the endangered mountain pygmy possum under climate change. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Hibernation is an important strategy used by many endotherms to conserve energy and water. Global warming is changing species' phenology and hibernation patterns, but whether such changes are beneficial or harmful depends on the species' life history traits, physiology, morphology, and behavior.

Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptors signals the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Microclimate refugia shape microclimatic niches and predict individual variability in post-breeding migration in a partially migratory species. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe niche is characterized along a gradient of temperature and microclimate refugia. Individuals in breeding areas with low microclimate refugia availability are more likely to cover larger distances to post‐breeding areas, increasing exposure to risks.
