Decision making can be facilitated by observing other individuals faced with the same or
similar problem, and recent research suggests that this social information use is a …

The island syndrome is a widespread biological phenomenon that describes a suite of
morphological, behavioural, demographic and life‐history changes associated with island …

Biological invaders represent one of the primary threats to the maintenance of global
biodiversity, human health, and the success of human economic enterprises. The continuing …

Factors that influence speciation rates among groups of organisms are integral to
deciphering macroevolutionary processes; however, they remain poorly understood. Here …

Many bones are supported internally by a latticework of trabeculae. Scaling of whole bone
length and diameter has been extensively investigated, but scaling of the trabecular network …

Abstract Theory and evidence suggest that some selective pressures are more common on
islands than in adjacent mainland habitats, leading evolution to follow predictable trends …

Seasonal migration is an underappreciated driver of animal diversification. Changes in
migratory behaviour may favour the establishment of sedentary founder populations and …

Aim Island taxa often attain forms outside the range achieved by mainland relatives. Body
size evolution of vertebrates on islands has therefore received much attention, with two …

A classic question in evolutionary biology is whether behavioral flexibility hastens or hinders
evolutionary change. The latter idea, that behavior reduces the number of environmental …

Abstract Knowledge on species distributions and seasonal movement patterns within
landscapes is important for understanding their ecology and roles in agroecosystems, and is …
