Parental investment and immune dynamics in sex-role reversed pipefishes.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Parental care elevates reproductive success by allocating resources into the upbringing of the offspring. However, it also imposes strong costs for the care-giving parent and can foster sexual dimorphism.

An experimental test of chronic traffic noise exposure on parental behaviour and reproduction in zebra finches

Biology Open, 2022
Chronic traffic noise is increasingly recognised as a potential hazard to wildlife. Several songbird species have been shown to breed poorly in traffic noise exposed habitats.

An Overview of Post-Fertilization Parental Care in Gobiidae

Diversity
Parental care increases offspring survival but is typically costly to the parent providing it. Understanding diversity in parental care across animals is a timely topic in evolutionary ecology.

Indirect effects of urbanization: consequences of increased aggression in an urban male songbird for mates and offspring

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Behavioral traits are often the first response to changing environmental conditions, including human induced rapid environmental change. For example, animals living in urban areas are often more aggressive than rural animals.
