From nestling to adult: personality traits are consistent within but not across life stages in a wild songbird
Personality traits can remain consistent throughout adult life, but it is less clear when these
behavioural differences first arise and whether they are maintained across ontogenetic …

Genetics reveals shifts in reproductive behaviour of the invasive bird parasite Philornis downsi collected from Darwin's finch nests
Due to novel or dynamic fluctuations in environmental conditions and resources, host and
parasite relationships can be subject to diverse selection pressures that may lead to …

Functional traits and foraging behaviour: Avian vampire fly larvae change the beak and fitness of their Darwin's finch hosts

The avian beak is a key morphological trait used for foraging. If parasites alter beak shape,
we may expect changes in host foraging behaviour. Larvae of the avian vampire fly Philornis …
