Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and
evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease …

In this work, we explore the potential influence of sensory ecology on speciation, including
but not limited to the concept of sensory drive, which concerns the coevolution of signals and …

The first comprehensive review of all aspects of the biology of moult, drawing information
from across the literature and in all birds, from penguins to passerines. Feathers are …

Plumage ornaments act as important sexual signals, though the extent to which these
ornaments act as honest signals—and the physiological mechanisms that maintain honesty …

Aim Animal coloration often shows high degrees of evolutionary lability, producing variation
among species that is easily apparent. This variation may produce consistent geographical …

Climate change has been shown to affect fitness-related traits in a wide range of taxa; for
instance, warming leads to phenological advancements in many plant and animal species …

Climate adaptation is surprisingly rarely reported as a cause for the build‐up of reproductive
isolation between diverging populations. In this review, we summarize evidence for effects of …

Many studies investigated variation in the frequency of extrapair paternity (EPP) among
individuals. However, our understanding of within-individual variation in EPP remains …

If humans aim to sustainably coexist with wildlife, we must understand how our activity
impacts the communication systems of urban animal populations. We know much about the …

Birds exhibit a vast array of colours and ornaments and while much work has focused on
understanding the function and evolution of carotenoid‐based colours (red, orange, yellow) …
