Comparison of two volunteer strategies for managing house sparrows in the United States

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
With a citizen science project, we investigated two volunteer management interventions that prevent house sparrow reproduction: swapping eggs with replicas (Swaps) and removing eggs and nest material (Removals). House Sparrows nested twice as quickly after Removals than Swaps, abandoned nestboxes more often after Swaps than Removals, with native ...

Early predictors of cognitive trajectories from birth to adolescence in children born extremely preterm

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
At 2 years, 10 years, and 15 years, the presence of early white matter injury (WMI) moderated associations between lower social risk and cognitive functioning in the social disadvantage index group x WMI interactions for combined abilities. Findings suggest that the benefits of low social risk were present in those without early WMI, but are ...

Actuarial Senescence In A Dimorphic Bird: Different Rates Of Ageing In Morphs With Discrete Reproductive Strategies [PDF]

, 2018
It is often hypothesized that intra-sexual competition accelerates actuarial senescence, or the increase in mortality rates with age. However, an alternative hypothesis is that parental investment is more important to determining senescence rates.

New organizational forms: Deconstructing and reconfiguring the literature

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Less hierarchical, self‐managing, agile, alternative: so‐called “new organizational forms” draw interest from scholars and practitioners alike. Despite an abundance of both conceptual and empirical research, the “new organizational form” concept remains elusive, capturing a growing diversity of phenomena and labels.

Behavioural and fitness effects of experimental immune activation during incubation in a wild passerine

Ibis, EarlyView.
Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Brief increases in corticosterone affect morphology, stress responses, and telomere length, but not post-fledging movements, in a wild songbird

, 2018
Organisms are frequently exposed to challenges during development, such as poor weather and food shortage. Such challenges can initiate the hormonal stress response, which involves secretion of glucocorticoids. Although the hormonal stress response helps

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.
