Continent-wide drivers of spatial synchrony in age structure across wild great tit populations

J. P. Woodman, S. J. G. Vriend, F. Adriaensen, E. Alvarez, A. Artemyev, E. Barba, M. D. Burgess, S. P. Caro, L. Cauchard, A. Charmantier, E. F. Cole, N. Dingemanse, B. Doligez, T. Eeva, S. R. Evans, , B. C. Sheldon

The paper quantifies spatial synchrony in great tit age structure across 32 populations and identifies drivers like clutch size, temperature, and beech crops, showing synchrony maintained up to 650km.

Carotenoid-dependent plumage coloration is associated with reduced male care in passerine birds

V. Rincon-Rubio, T. Szekely, A. Liker, A. Gonzalez-Voyer

This study shows that carotenoid-dependent plumage coloration in passerine birds is linked to reduced male care, suggesting a trade-off between sexual signaling and parental investment.

How do ecological and social environments reflect parental roles in birds? A comparative analysis

X. Long, Y. Liu, A. Liker, F. J. Weissing, J. Komdeur, T. Szekely

The paper examines how ecological and social environments influence parental roles in birds, finding that social environment, not ecological factors, affects sex differences in care provisioning.

Does offspring sex ratio differ between urban and forest populations of great tits (Parus major)?

N. Agh, I. Pipoly, K. Szabo, E. Vincze, V. Bokony, G. Seress, A. Liker

The paper investigates whether urban and forest great tits produce different brood sex ratios and finds no significant difference between the two habitats.

Extreme hot weather has stronger impacts on avian reproduction in forests than in cities

I. Pipoly, B. Preiszner, K. Sandor, C. Sinkovics, G. Seress, E. Vincze, V. Bokony, A. Liker

This study compares the impact of extreme hot weather on avian reproduction in urban and forest environments, finding stronger negative effects in forests.

Ecology, phylogeny, and the evolution of developmental duration in birds

C. R. Cooney, C. Sheard, A. D. Clark, S. D. Healy, A. Liker, S. E. Street, C. A. Troisi, G. H. Thomas, T. Szekely, N. Hemmings, A. E. Wright

This study investigates the factors influencing developmental duration in birds using phylogenetic and ecological data, finding that body size, ecology, and evolutionary history explain most of the variation.

Higher frequency of extra-pair offspring in urban than forest broods of great tits (Parus major)

I. Pipoly, K. Szabo, V. Bokony, B. Preiszner, G. Seress, E. Vincze, J. Schroeder, A. Liker

The paper finds that urban great tit broods have a higher frequency of extra-pair offspring compared to forest broods.

Meta-analysis challenges a textbook example of status signalling and demonstrates publication bias

A. Sanchez-Tojar, S. Nakagawa, M. Sanchez-Fortun, D. A. Martin, S. Ramani, A. Girndt, V. Bokony, B. Kempenaers, A. Liker, D. Westneat, T. Burke, J. Schroeder

The paper challenges the status signalling hypothesis using meta-analysis, finding no support for dominance rank being linked to bib size in house sparrows and identifying publication bias.
