Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Habitat modification and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. Using 38 years of data (1985–2023), we examined their combined influence on a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder's reproductive success and projected the likely magnitude of future effects of ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The hormone insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) is a key player in the insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) pathway. Extensive biogerontological research demonstrates that this evolutionarily conserved nutrient‐sensing pathway plays a causal role in the regulation of growth ...

Morphology and biomechanics of the nests of the Common Blackbird Turdus merula [PDF]
, 2015 Capsule Common blackbirds select different materials, with varying biomechanical properties, to construct different parts of their nest. Aims This study tested the hypothesis that outer components of a nest have a more structural role and so are ...

Site‐Specific Impacts of Urbanisation on Annual Survival of a Forest Bird
Ecology and EvolutionHabitat changes associated with urbanization have major and complex effects on wildlife. In birds, urban populations often have lower reproductive success but are able to maintain similar or higher densities than non‐urban populations.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...
