Welfare and Felt Duration

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How should we understand the duration of a pleasant or unpleasant sensation, insofar as its duration modulates how good or bad the experience is overall? Given that we seem able to distinguish between subjective and objective duration and that how well or badly someone's life goes is naturally thought of as something to be assessed from her ...

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Interplay Between River Formation and Historical Climatic Changes Drove Diversification of the Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus (Passeriformes, Thamnophilidae) Species Complex Across Amazonian and Atlantic Forests

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Amazon and Atlantic forests harbour immense biodiversity shaped by complex evolutionary history with diverse processes leading to species build‐up. We investigated the Cinereous Antshrike species complex (Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus) to disentangle the relative contributions of riverine barriers and historical climatic ...

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The Larger the Egg, the Safer the Nest: A Study on the Negative Correlation Between Nest Predation Rates and Egg Size of Two Tropical Phasianids in Hainan

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
There is a lack of research on the predation of tropical pheasant nests. The study conducted artificial nest experiments based on egg size and we have supported the viewpoint that using experimental eggs matched in size with those of natural eggs improves the accuracy of artificial nest simulation studies. ABSTRACT Nest predation is the principal cause

Egg‐Inspection Frequency Predicts Egg Recognition but Not Ejection in a Cuckoo Host

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Redstarts inspected the foreign egg more frequently than they inspected their own eggs. Redstarts spent a longer time inspecting the foreign egg than viewing their own eggs. Individuals inspecting the foreign egg more often were more likely to recognize it. ABSTRACT One of the most effective strategies for avian hosts to defend against brood parasitism

Flexible Responses to Wildfires by Great Tits (Parus major) Breeding in Forests of Northeastern Algeria

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
With increasing wildfire frequency in Mediterranean North Africa, this study examines how breeding Great Tits (Parus major) adjust nest construction and reproductive investment in burned and unburned forests of northeastern Algeria. While fire‐induced scarcity of moss led birds to use alternative fibers and resulted in smaller eggs, fledgling success ...
