Human habitat disturbances can promote hybridization between closely related, but typically
reproductively isolated, species. We explored whether human habitat disturbances are …

In cooperatively breeding species, the level of investment in young can vary substantially.
Despite receiving considerable research attention, how and why investment in young varies …

Urbanization increasingly changes the ecological conditions for wild animal populations,
influencing their demography, reproduction, and behavior. While studies on the ecological …

Both abiotic and biotic drivers influence species distributions. Abiotic drivers such as climate
have received considerable attention, even though biotic drivers such as hybridization often …

Worldwide, urbanization has transformed natural habitats and introduced a range of threats
to the species living therein, including exposure to trace elements, including heavy metals …

Urbanization is a human‐induced process of rapid habitat change that can affect the
reproductive success of animals. The occurrence of extra‐pair paternity (EPP) may be …

Feather coloration and patterning are major signals influencing mate choice within and
between species. However, most studies of the role of plumage in mate choice have focused …

Extra‐pair paternity (EPP) is the consequence of the interactions between a social pair and
extra‐pair males during the female's fertile phase in a specific social context and ecological …

'A superb account of the ecology and behaviour of two declining bird species whose lives
are intimately shaped by their woodland habitats.'–Rob Fuller'There can surely be nobody …

Sexual signaling and the strength of sexual selection are often predicated on the differential
