Evolution and function of fossoriality in the carnivora: implications for group-living
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The societies of group-living carnivores that neither hunt nor interact cooperatively may arise due to ecological drivers and/or constraints. In this study we evaluate whether group-living may be intrinsically associated with fossoriality; a link that is

Demographic History and Population Structure of Polistes fuscatus Paper Wasps [PDF]
, 2018 Limited dispersal and cooperation are predicted to coevolve in cooperatively breeding systems. In Polistes paper wasps, mark-recapture studies and genetic analyses have shown that both cooperative and solitary nesting gynes can exhibit natal philopatry.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A thorough understanding of movement patterns of a species is critical for designing effective conservation and management initiatives. However, generating such information for large marine vertebrates is challenging, as they typically move over long ...

Sex‐biased dispersal in the Arabian babbler (Argya squamiceps)
Ibis, EarlyView.Sex‐biased dispersal plays a central role in shaping social structure and reproductive strategies in many bird species. In the Arabian Babbler Argya squamiceps, a cooperatively breeding species with pronounced male philopatry, dispersal occurs individually or in kin‐based same‐sex coalitions.

Longest documented coastal migrations of shortnose sturgeon
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The shortnose sturgeon (SNS; Acipenser brevirostrum) is a United States federally endangered diadromous species. Although SNS spend much of their time in riverine habitat, inter‐river migrations have been documented in northern populations.

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2012 The evolutionary processes driving patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation, and ultimately leading to speciation, are poorly understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of environmental and biological mechanisms on gene ...

Climate and dispersal: Black-winged Stilts disperse further in dry springs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Climate affects the abundance and distribution of many species of wildlife. Nevertheless, the potential effects of climate on dispersive behaviour remain unstudied.

Multiple paternity and hybridization in two smooth-hound sharks [PDF]
, 2015 Multiple paternity appears to be a common trait of elasmobranch mating systems, with its occurrence likely driven by convenience, due to females seeking to minimize the stress of male harassment.

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Until now, the genetic identity of common grass snakes (Natrix natrix) in Poland remained poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive phylogeographic analysis for Poland using mitochondrial DNA sequences (cyt b and ND4 + tRNAs) and 13 nuclear microsatellite loci.

Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Identifying the mechanisms maintaining population structure in marine fish species with more than a single dispersing life stage is challenging because of the difficulty in tracking all life stages.
