The paper quantifies how extreme climatic events affect genetic variance in adult survival, showing genotype-by-environment interactions that constrain adaptive potential under severe conditions.

This study examines infanticide in sociable weavers and finds no direct reproductive benefits, suggesting indirect fitness benefits may drive the behavior.

This study presents an individual-based model to simulate eco-evolutionary dynamics in partially migratory metapopulations under spatio-seasonal environmental variation, showing how migration can mediate population responses to environmental changes.

The paper investigates whether social associations between breeders and helpers in sociable weavers are linked to the help received, finding stronger foraging bonds and positive correlations between social affiliations and help provided.
