Interactive effects of rising temperatures and urbanisation on birds across different climate zones: A mechanistic perspective
Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

Hot and dry conditions predict shorter nestling telomeres in an endangered songbird: Implications for population persistence
Climate warming is increasingly exposing wildlife to sublethal high temperatures, which may
lead to chronic impacts and reduced fitness. Telomere length (TL) may link heat exposure to …

Climate change is predicted to cause population collapse in a cooperative breeder
It has been suggested that animals may have evolved cooperative breeding strategies in
response to extreme climatic conditions. Climate change, however, may push species …

Higher temperature extremes exacerbate negative disease effects in a social mammal
One important but understudied way in which climate change may impact the fitness of
individuals and populations is by altering the prevalence of infectious disease outbreaks …

Winter mortality of a passerine bird increases following hotter summers and during winters with higher maximum temperatures
Climate change may influence animal population dynamics through reproduction and
mortality. However, attributing changes in mortality to specific climate variables is …

High temperatures drive offspring mortality in a cooperatively breeding bird
An improved understanding of life-history responses to current environmental variability is
required to predict species-specific responses to anthopogenic climate change. Previous …
