Metabolic responses to cold: thermal physiology of native common waxbills (Estrilda astrild)

This study examines the metabolic responses of common waxbills to cold temperatures in their native range, identifying a metabolic inflection point at 16°C that may indicate an adaptive energy-saving strategy.

Metabolic adjustments to winter severity in two geographically separated great tit (Parus major) populations

This study compares winter metabolic rates in two great tit populations, finding differences in basal and maximum metabolism that challenge the aerobic capacity model.

Seasonal variation in great tit (Parus major) energy requirements: reallocation versus increased demand

This study examines energy requirements in great tits during winter and breeding seasons, finding no substantial difference in energy expenditure, supporting the reallocation hypothesis.

Host-pathogen co-existence incurs reproductive costs

This study shows that host-pathogen co-existence in pigeons leads to reduced reproductive success but protects against clinical disease.

Occurrence cubes: a new paradigm for aggregating species occurrence data

The paper introduces occurrence cubes to aggregate species occurrence data across taxonomic, temporal, and geographic dimensions, incorporating spatial uncertainty for use in ecological modeling and monitoring.
