The costs of keeping cool: behavioural trade-offs between foraging and thermoregulation are associated with significant mass losses in an arid-zone bird
Avian responses to high environmental temperatures include retreating to cooler microsites
and/or increasing rates of evaporative heat dissipation via panting, both of which may affect …

Why study plovers? The significance of non-model organisms in avian ecology, behaviour and evolution
T Székely - Journal of Ornithology, 2019 - Springer
Shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) are some of the most charismatic animals that
breed on all continents and inhabit diverse habitats, and their ecology, behaviour and …

High temperatures are associated with substantial reductions in breeding success and offspring quality in an arid-zone bird
TMFN Van de Ven, AE McKechnie, S Er… - Oecologia, 2020 - Springer
During hot weather, terrestrial animals often seek shaded thermal refugia. However, this can
result in missed foraging opportunities, loss of body condition and impaired parental care …

Avian parental behavior and nest success influenced by temperature fluctuations
Behavioral adjustments and parental decisions during reproduction can influence the
thermal environment at nests, yet our understanding into how environmental factors (ie …

Parents adjust care in response to weather conditions and egg dehydration in a Neotropical glassfrog
Parental hydration of terrestrially developing eggs has evolved repeatedly among frogs and
is thought to buffer embryos from environmental variation. While many anurans offer relevant …

Parental cooperation in an extreme hot environment: natural behaviour and experimental evidence
One of the most apparent examples of cooperation between unrelated individuals is
biparental care whereby the male and the female parent share the rearing of the offspring …

Local environment but not genetic differentiation influences biparental care in ten plover populations
Social behaviours are highly variable between species, populations and individuals.
However, it is contentious whether behavioural variations are primarily moulded by the …
