Animal movement is crucial for fitness and is influenced by resource availability and social
dynamics. Habitat degradation changes resource availability, impacting movement …

Animals respond to habitat alteration with changes in their behavior and physiology. These
changes determine individual performance and thus precede changes in population size …

In cooperatively breeding species, group members may derive multiple benefits from
hel** to raise other individuals' offspring, yet not all individuals do so. In this study, we …

The cloud forests of the Taita Hills are valuable refuges for numerous endemic and rare
animal and plant species. They also provide various ecosystem services that support …

Why unrelated members form groups in animal societies remains a pertinent topic in
evolutionary biology because benefits for group members often are not obvious. We studied …

The concept of mating systems refers to all the strategies through which animals interact in
the context of breeding. Animal social interactions, and consequently their mating strategies …

Predicting the fate of threatened populations remains a challenge in conservation biology.
The study of genetic and demographic time series is crucial to unravel the role of population …

Delayed natal dispersal is thought to have evolved in response to survival benefits of
philopatry and group formation under environmental and/or demographic constraints, with …

Cooperative groups are highly variable in relatedness and size, but whether this influences
the environments where species live remains unclear. We test the prediction that …

Habitat fragmentation has been shown to decrease habitat quality and alter the availability
of resources. This has been to shown to affect the condition and physiology of individuals …
