Early‐life telomere length predicts lifespan and lifetime reproductive success in a wild bird
Poor conditions during early development can initiate trade‐offs that favour current survival
at the expense of somatic maintenance and subsequently, future reproduction. However, the …

Evolutionary drivers of seasonal plumage colours: colour change by moult correlates with sexual selection, predation risk and seasonality across passerines
Some birds undergo seasonal colour change by moulting twice each year, typically
alternating between a cryptic, non‐breeding plumage and a conspicuous, breeding …

Telomere dynamics in the first year of life, but not later in life, predict lifespan in a wild bird
Telomeres are protective, nucleoprotein structures at the end of chromosomes that have
been associated with lifespan across taxa. However, the extent to which these associations …

[HTML][HTML] Persistent low avian malaria in a tropical species despite high community prevalence
Malarial and other haemosporidian parasites are widespread; however, their temporal
dynamics are ill-understood. Longitudinal sampling of a threatened riparian bird revealed a …

Which plumage patches provide information about condition and success in a female fairy-wren?
Recent evidence suggests that female ornaments can commonly act as signals. However,
how signaling functions might be affected by the tendency for reduced ornament elaboration …

From ornament to armament or loss of function? Breeding plumage acquisition in a genetically monogamous bird
The evolution of conspicuous male traits is thought to be driven by female mate choice or
male–male competition. These two mechanisms are often viewed as distinct processes, with …

Variability, heritability and condition-dependence of the multidimensional male colour phenotype in a passerine bird
Elaborate ornamental traits are commonly assumed to be honest signals of individual
quality, owing to the presumed costs involved in their production and/or maintenance. Such …
