Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important
indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change–particularly in regard to the …

We review evidence for and against the use of erythrocyte indicators of health status and
condition, parasite infection level and physiological stress in free‐living vertebrates. The use …

Tropical forest understory birds are declining globally for unknown reasons, indicating an
urgent need to understand the causes. We review and synthesize studies investigating …

In birds, acclimation and acclimatization to temperature are associated with changes in
basal (BMR), summit (M sum) and maximal (MMR) metabolic rates but little is known about …

Metabolic rates are related to the pace of life. Hence, research into their variability at global
scales is of vital importance for several contemporary theories in physiology, ecology, and …

Animal personalities are interindividual behavioral differences that are consistent across
time or contexts. Increasing research is revealing the adaptive significance of personalities …

Climate change, specifically rising temperatures and increased frequency of droughts will
increase the level of exposure of organisms to chemical pollution. Notably, the impact of …

Projected rates of climate change over the next century are expected to force species to shift
ranges, adapt or acclimate to evade extinction. Predicting which of these scenarios may be …

Inter-specific differences in animal defence mechanisms against toxic substances are
currently poorly understood. The ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) enzyme plays an …
