The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Population genetic structure and direct observations reveal sex-reversed patterns of dispersal in a cooperative bird [PDF]
, 2014 Sex-biased dispersal is pervasive and has diverse evolutionary implications, but the fundamental drivers of dispersal sex biases remain unresolved. This is due in part to limited diversity within taxonomic groups in the direction of dispersal sex biases,

Crocodile social environments dictated by male philopatry
Behavioral Ecology, 2021 Abstract Examining the social behaviors of solitary species can be challenging due to the rarity in which interactions occur and the large and often inaccessible areas which these animals inhabit. As shared space-use is a prerequisite for the expression of social behaviors, we can gain insights into the social environments of solitary ...

Do not disturb the family: roles of colony size and human disturbance in the genetic structure of lesser kestrel [PDF]
, 2014 Dispersal and philopatry are fundamental processes influencing the genetic structure and persistence of populations and might be affected by isolation and habitat perturbation.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Gene flow is key to understand the population connectivity of a given species, specially when small and segregated populations threaten its conservation. In this study we explored the population structure of the Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica), a long‐distance migratory shorebird.

The Evolution of Dispersal in Random Environments and The Principle of Partial Control [PDF]
, 2011 McNamara and Dall (2011) identified novel relationships between the abundance of a species in different environments, the temporal properties of environmental change, and selection for or against dispersal.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Feather corticosterone (fCORT) provides a powerful indicator of population‐level physiological responses to human disturbance, yet its interpretation is complicated by variation across taxa, habitats, and molt‐movement strategies. Using stable isotope analyses to account for molt migrants in the globally endangered Scaly‐sided Merganser (Mergus ...

Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

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.

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.
