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 …

Oviposition-site choice is a major maternal effect by which females can affect the survival
and phenotype of their offspring. Across oviparous species, the ultimate reasons for females' …

record and evolution of avian egg nesting and incubation/DC Deeming--Nest construction …

Despite the overriding importance of nest predation for most birds, our understanding of the
relationship between birds and their nest predators has been developed largely without …

Predation may drive differential selection among personality types, but the mechanism
linking personality with predation risk is poorly understood. One such mechanism may be …

Recreational activities in nature have increased considerably in recent decades. Human
disturbance may trigger similar trade‐offs in birds that the natural risk of predation generates …

Changes in demographic rates underpin changes in population size, and understanding
demographic rates can greatly aid the design and development of strategies to maintain …

Variable environments impose constraints on adaptation by modifying selection gradients
unpredictably. Optimal bird development requires an adequate thermal range, outside which …

We analyzed whether habitat deterioration due to ski slopes affected lizards' behavior, and
whether these changes in behavior had consequences for the body condition and health …

Distraction displays are conspicuous behaviours functioning to distract a predator's attention
away from the displayer's nest or young, thereby reducing the chance of offspring being …
