Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1358-1371, August 2026.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Leukocyte profiles reveal sex and age differences in immune investment in a polygynous bat

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1453-1463, August 2026.
Analysis of over 500 blood cell profiles, including repeat samples over four years, reveals that male bats from a long‐lived species with a polygynous mating system invest more in innate than adaptive immunity. Investment in innate immunity increases with age, as estimated by a DNA methylation clock and mark‐recapture data.

The role of viability selection in shaping short‐ and long‐term consequences of early‐life conditions: An experiment in the Alpine swift

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1401-1418, August 2026.
In an experimental brood‐size manipulation in Alpine swifts, smaller nestlings were selectively lost during growth, eliminating treatment differences in adult size, yet individuals from enlarged broods showed higher reproductive performance. Abstract Environmental conditions experienced early in life can shape growth, morphology and survival, and can ...

Sex‐biasing gene drives for island mouse eradications: Modelling dispersal and mating behaviour for improved risk assessment preparedness

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Though drive efficiency was highly influential to model outcomes, such parameters will likely be known prior to any experimental gene drive introductions. We conclude that understanding the ecological and life‐history characteristics specific to target populations will be critical to accurately predict gene drive outcomes and inform risk assessments ...

Demographic responses to population recovery illustrated by 30 years of monitoring a once critically endangered parrot

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings highlight the dynamic nature of demographic processes throughout population recovery and emphasise the value of continued monitoring beyond apparent recovery to detect density‐dependent shifts in demographic rates of wildlife populations.

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1618-1632, August 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 406-420, August 2026.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.
