The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Fine‐scale spatial and temporal genetic structuring of nests is possible in colonial birds that return to breed at their natal sites, and notably in waterfowl for which females are more philopatric than males. We genotyped female Red‐breasted Mergansers Mergus serrator breeding colonially on a coastal archipelago in eastern New Brunswick, Canada ...

Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)
Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...
