The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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

Foraging under Predation Risk: A test of giving-up densities with samango monkeys in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Animals frequently make a trade-off between food and safety and will sacrifice feeding effort if it means safety from predators. A forager can also vary its vigilance levels to manage predation risk.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
