Free‐ranging wild vertebrates need to cope with natural and anthropogenic stressors that
cause short and/or long‐term behavioural and physiological responses. In areas of high …

Land use/land cover changes (LULCCs) and biological invasions significantly impact
coastal wetlands (CWs) and their ecosystem services and functions. The exact impacts …

Abstract The Brazilian Amazon supports an extremely diverse avifauna and serves as the
diversification center for avian malaria parasites in South America. Construction of …

Ecological and conservation research has focused on documenting wildlife's behavioural
and demographic responses to anthropogenic disturbance. Yet, a significant gap remains in …

Animals respond to habitat alteration with changes in their behavior and physiology. These
changes determine individual performance and thus precede changes in population size …

Identifying reliable bioindicators of population status is a central goal of conservation
physiology. Physiological stress measures are often used as metrics of individual health and …

Sexually and socially selected signals are predicated to express the present and past
condition of individuals and thereby their capacity to cope with environmental challenges …

Male signals may express the capacity to sustain environmental challenges. In some
migratory birds like the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca, plumage ornaments are molted …

As hydropower development expands across lowland tropical forests, flooding and
concomitant insular fragmentation have become important threats to biodiversity. Newly …

Abstract Bird abundance in North America has declined by almost 30% in just the past 50
