Early‐life experiences can drive subsequent variation in social behaviours, but how
differences among individuals emerge remains unknown. We combined experimental …

Aggression represents the backbone of dominance acquisition in several animal societies,
where the decision to interact is dictated by its relative cost. Among siblings, such costs are …

Attributes of natal habitat often affect early stages of natal dispersal. Thus, environmental
gradients at mountain slopes are expected to result in gradients of dispersal behavior and to …

Agricultural intensification is one of the main threats to biodiversity. Farmland bird specialists
such as Montagu's harrier, Circus pygargus, are particularly at risk and declining …

Local population dynamics are driven by local processes such as temporal variation of
productivity, survival, emigration and population stage structure, and by processes …

In partial migrant systems, where residents and migrants coexist within a population,
residents are commonly predicted to gain a reproductive advantage over migrants through …

Metal pollution is a global environmental issue with adverse biological effects on wildlife.
Long-term studies that span declines in metal emissions due to regulation, resulting in …

In migratory animals, the developmental period from inexperienced juveniles to breeding
adults could be a key life stage in shaping population migration patterns. Nevertheless, the …

Abstract Penguins are Southern Hemisphere seabirds, spanning tropical, temperate, sub?
Antarctic, and high? Antarctic regions. They comprise 18 species that collectively rank …

Global environmental changes are associated with warmer average temperatures and more
extreme weather events, potentially affecting wildlife population dynamics by altering …
