This study tests hypotheses about sex differences in cooperation by analyzing dispersal patterns in white-browed sparrow weavers, finding support for the Dispersal trade-off hypothesis over the Philopatry hypothesis.

This study meta-analyzes the impact of chemical pollution on oxidative stress in amphibians across life stages, finding divergent antioxidant responses and oxidative damage post-metamorphosis.

This study investigates whether urban blue tits' smaller clutch sizes are due to environmental constraints or adaptive strategies, finding urban females cannot lay replacement eggs as forest females can.

This study investigates urbanisation effects on carotenoid-based plumage coloration in great tits across Europe using correlational, experimental, and meta-analytical approaches, finding urban individuals are paler but with population-specific variations.

The paper links female songbird chronotype to reproductive success, showing earlier-starting females raise more fledglings in both urban and forest habitats.

The paper shows that mothers in cooperative bird species increase pre-natal investment when helped by female helpers, by laying larger eggs, while reducing post-natal investment.

This study finds urban bird populations show higher phenological variation in laying dates compared to non-urban populations, likely due to environmental heterogeneity.

The paper shows that older mothers produce offspring with longer telomeres, suggesting a transgenerational effect of parental age on telomere length in wild birds.

The paper introduces an R package, incR, for analyzing incubation behavior, validated to accurately extract metrics like incubation bout duration and number.
