Climate warming creates energetic challenges for endothermic species by increasing
metabolic and hydric costs of thermoregulation. Although endotherms can invoke an array of …

For many species, behavioral modification is an effective strategy to mitigate negative effects
of harsh and unpredictable environmental conditions. When behavioral modifications are …

Mammals use thermoregulatory behavioural strategies to reduce the cost of physiological
thermoregulation. Environmental temperatures should, therefore, impact their decisions. We …

Increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves generate new challenges for many organisms.
Our understanding of the ecological predictors of thermal vulnerability is improving, yet, at …

Sleep serves vital physiological functions, yet how sleep in wild animals is influenced by
environmental conditions is poorly understood. Here we use high-resolution biologgers to …

Males in polygynous systems may be facing a trade‐off between the traits that enhance
reproductive success and the need to cope with environmental change. To secure mates …

Climate change is among the greatest threats to biodiversity conservation worldwide.
Understanding which species are vulnerable to climate change and in what ways is …

Wildlife contend with seasonal fluctuations in resource availability and have adapted
survival and reproductive strategies to overcome resource limitations. Many northern …

Context Natural selection favors species with strong fidelity to seasonal ranges where
resources are predictable across space and time. Extreme disturbance events may negate …

An individual's future behaviour and fitness are strongly influenced by early life experience.
Within the suite of factors that underpin juvenile development, sleep plays a particularly …
