Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

A single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping panel for efficient genetic stock identification of the Teno river Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population complex

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel for genetic stock identification in the Teno river Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., fishery was developed, with a view to improving on an existing microsatellite panel. Twenty‐two genetically differentiated reporting units were proposed based on population genetic analyses of 1212 individuals ...

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more
