In response to the pressures of predation, parasitism and competition for limited resources,
several groups of (mainly) tropical bees and wasps have independently evolved a nocturnal …

Animals avoid temperatures that constrain foraging by restricting activity to specific times of
the day or year. However, because temperature alters the availability of food resources, it is …

Throughout history, the stars have provided humans with ever more information about our
world, enabling increasingly accurate systems of navigation in addition to fuelling some of …

Understanding how species will respond to global change depends on our ability to
distinguish generalities from idiosyncrasies. For diverse, but poorly known taxa, such as …

Navigating animals are known to use a number of celestial and terrestrial compass cues that
