Understanding the factors that determine the occurrence and strength of ecological
interactions under specific abiotic and biotic conditions is fundamental since many aspects …

Rising temperatures and anthropogenic noise are two of the most pervasive and well
researched anthropogenic stressors affecting avian species globally. Despite often …

Many of the negative physiological effects of lead involve the hypothalamus, but the
possibility that thermoregulation is affected has received little attention. We tested the …

Global warming is rapidly changing the phenology, distribution, behaviour and demography
of wild animal populations. Recent studies in wild animals have shown that high …

To date, studies of the impacts of climate warming on individuals and populations have
mostly focused on mortality and thermal tolerance. In contrast, much less is known about the …

Despite considerable research into the structure of cognition in non-human animal species,
there is still much debate as to whether animal cognition is organised as a series of discrete …

Adverse meteorological events are, to some extent, frequent and recurrent phenomena in
the lives of avian species. Nevertheless, climate change in recent decades has led to a …

Cognitive abilities can promote acclimation and adaptation to life in cities. However, the
genetic versus environmental drivers of cognition have rarely been studied in the wild and …

Cognitive capacity for quantity discrimination is highly adaptive in various ecological
contexts and subject to convergent evolution across diverse animal species, yet the …
