Feeder Insects: The Ethics of Live Feeding in Zoos and Aquariums

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Since there is uncertainty about whether some feeder insects are sentient, zoos and aquariums should consider their welfare alongside the welfare of the animals to which they are fed. The 3Rs (replacement, reduction, refinement) provide a useful ethical framework for identifying best practices. ABSTRACT While there is no consensus about whether insects

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence.

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Urbanization alters fungal functional composition in boreal ecosystems by favouring larger‐spore fungi and pathogenic fungi

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity, ultimately influencing ecosystem functions. Fungi, a highly taxonomically and functionally diverse group of organisms, underpin many of these ecosystem functions from nutrient cycling to symbiotic interactions.
