Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 7, Page 466-476, July 2026.We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

BMC Genomics, 2009 Background The detection of odorants is mediated by olfactory receptors (ORs). ORs are G-protein coupled receptors that form a remarkably large protein superfamily in vertebrate genomes.

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 934-949, July 2026.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.

Shifting Balancing Selection Underlies an Inversion Cline in Eurasian Blackcap
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We investigated what factor contributes to a cline of a chromosomal inversion of the Eurasian blackcap, which differs from typical inversion clines maintained by divergent selection. Using a simulation‐based machine learning approach, we found that the inversion is under negative frequency‐dependent selection, and the optimal frequency is shifted ...

Candling Analysis of Egg Development in an Endangered Bird Species Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using candling images from 98 eggs, we present the first detailed description of egg and embryonic development in the endangered crested ibis. We identify diagnostic features of nonviable eggs and reveal that embryo mortality is concentrated during mid‐incubation and shortly before hatching. These findings provide a standardized reference for assessing

BMC Neuroscience, 2010 Background Steroids affect many tissues, including the brain. In the zebra finch, the estrogenic steroid estradiol (E2) is especially effective at promoting growth of the neural circuit specialized for song.
