Chemical contaminants (eg metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals) are changing ecosystems
via effects on wildlife. Indeed, recent work explicitly performed under environmentally …

Non‐consumptive predator effects (NCEs) are now widely recognised for their capacity to
shape ecosystem structure and function. Yet, forecasting the propagation of these predator …

As global temperatures reach record highs, threats posed by climate change to biodiversity
become ever more severe. For endotherms, maintaining body temperature within safe …

ABSTRACT A growing body of work suggests that breeding birds have a significant capacity
to assess and respond, over ecological time, to changes in the risk of predation to both …

Nest predation is a key source of selection for birds that has attracted increasing attention
from ornithologists. The inclusion of new concepts applicable to nest predation that stem …

One of the classic ecological questions is how predators affect population size. This is often
assessed by measuring how many individuals are killed by a predator, yet such direct effects …

Avian responses to high environmental temperatures include retreating to cooler microsites
and/or increasing rates of evaporative heat dissipation via panting, both of which may affect …

Although ecologists have long recognized that animal space use is primarily determined by
the presence of predators and the distribution of resources, the effects of these two …

Urban areas contain high densities of non‐native species, which in the UK include the
