Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

Beyond first clutches: Second broods reshape selection on breeding timing in forest and urban great tits

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Most studies of selection on breeding timing consider only first clutches. Using a 13‐year dataset of urban and forest great tits, we show that including second broods reshapes estimates of natural selection, revealing that early breeding is favoured through increased probability of multiple brooding and higher annual reproductive output.
