Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Open forest butterfly species have been declining rapidly in Central Europe, but the reasons for their decline are not yet fully understood. Using the Southern White Admiral (Limenitis reducta) as a model species, we showed that solar radiation plays a key role throughout the species' life cycle, in particular for larval survival.
