Do lifetime contest costs affect the evolution of assessment strategies? A meta‐analysis
Our meta‐analysis reveals unexpected patterns in the evolution of assessment strategies during animal contests. We show that self‐assessment dominates in high‐cost fights, challenging existing theories. This study provides novel insights into the link between fighting costs and behavioural evolution, with implications for understanding fitness ...

Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Abstract Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest. Still, most studies and monitoring schemes assess wild bees during flower visitation, allowing no conclusion about their nest ...
