Insect-associated bacterial communities across an anthropogenic landscape Open
Anthropogenic activities induce drastic changes in land use that are at least partly responsible for the ongoing global patterns of macro-biodiversity erosion. These habitat changes also impact the fitness of the resilient species, through…

Combined Evidence Reveals the Origin of a Rapid Range Expansion Despite Retained Genetic Diversity and a Weak Founder Effect Open
Many species are currently experiencing range shifts in response to changing environmental conditions with potentially serious genetic consequences. Repeated founder events and strong genetic drift are expected to erode genetic variation a…

Putative signatures of genomic adaptation to Cuckoo brood parasitism in Reed Warbler hosts across Europe Open
Behaviour is a fundamental defence mechanism for animals facing enemies, yet its plasticity makes finding associated genomic evidence for coevolution challenging. As a solution, we apply landscape genomics methods more typically deployed w…

Multispecies relations shape bird-feeding practices Open
While humans often feed birds in their backyards, there is growing awareness that this has positive and negative effects on local biodiversity. Whether the observed species assemblage shapes human activities has, however, rarely been inves…

How, why, where and when people feed birds?—Spatio‐temporal changes in bird‐feeding in Finland Open
Providing food to animals, especially birds, during winter is a common activity in many countries. While bird‐feeding can increase connections between people and nature, there are increasing calls from researchers and the general public to…

Beyond genes‐for‐behaviour: The potential for genomics to resolve long‐standing questions in avian brood parasitism Open
Behavioural ecology by definition of its founding ‘Tinbergian framework’ is an integrative field, however, it lags behind in incorporating genomic methods. ‘Finding the gene/s for a behaviour’ is still rarely feasible or cost‐effective in …

Changing Bird Migration Patterns Have Potential to Enhance Dispersal of Alien Plants From Urban Centres Open
There is increasing recognition that alien species may be ‘sleepers’, becoming invasive with favourable changes in conditions, yet these changes remain difficult to predict. As populations of frugivorous birds shift with urbanisation and c…
View article: Common cuckoo female host selection is not determined by host quality but can affect cuckoo nestling growth when parasitising Common redstarts
Common cuckoo female host selection is not determined by host quality but can affect cuckoo nestling growth when parasitising Common redstarts Open
Common cuckoo ( Cuculus canorus ) females lay their eggs in the nests of other avian hosts, relying on parental care provided by parasitised hosts. Therefore, it would benefit cuckoo females to target high-quality individual hosts, able to…

Relaxed selection diminishes social memory and expression of host defences against cuckoos Open
Behavioural defences are a key adaptation across animals, but confirming decay under relaxed selection is challenging. If expression involves decision-making, then the defence may only be expressed when the right environmental cues are ava…

Understanding and applying biological resilience, from genes to ecosystems Open
The natural world is under unprecedented and accelerating pressure. Much work on understanding resilience to local and global environmental change has, so far, focussed on ecosystems. However, understanding a system’s behaviour requires kn…
View article: Parental breeding decisions and genetic quality predict social structure of independent offspring
Parental breeding decisions and genetic quality predict social structure of independent offspring Open
Across the animal kingdom, newly independent juveniles form social associations that influence later fitness, mate choice and gene flow, but little is known about the ontogeny of social environments, particularly in wild populations. Here …

The evolution and ecology of multiple antipredator defences Open
Prey seldom rely on a single type of antipredator defence, often using multiple defences to avoid predation. In many cases, selection in different contexts may favour the evolution of multiple defences in a prey. However, a prey may use mu…

Native fauna interact differently with native and alien trees in a tropical megacity Open
The negative effects of invasive alien plant species on natural ecosystems are well known. However, in rapidly growing cities, alien plants can provide native fauna with resources otherwise lost due to the biotic homogenization, which is c…

Dataset for "Parental breeding decisions and genetic quality predict social structure of independent offspring" Open
This study used pre-existing datasets collected in a population of hihi (Notiomystis cincta) on Tiritiri Matangi Island (Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand), collected for three cohorts of juvenile birds between 2015-2017. Social asso…

Genomic consequences of range expansion and colonisation in the reed warbler (<i>Acrocephalus scirpaceus</i>) Open
Range expansion is a common natural phenomenon, which may be intensified by human-induced drivers such as climate change and alterations of habitat. The genetic consequences of range expansion are potentially major, and it is important to …

BPGA: an interactive Shiny application for basic population genetic analysis of genotype data Open
Brood parasite-host interactions are among the most easily observable and amenable natural laboratories of antagonistic coevolution, and as such have intrigued evolutionary biologists for decades. It is therefore surprising they have not b…

Intergenerational effects from spatial and genetic environment predict early-life social network structure Open
Early independence is a crucial stage in the ontogeny of social environments, but it is often challenging to study in the wild. Genetics may structure groups if young animals associate with familiar kin, but association opportunities also …
