Conditions experienced prenatally, by modulating developmental processes, have lifelong
effects on individual phenotypes and fitness, ultimately influencing population dynamics. In …

Intense heat waves are occurring more frequently, with concomitant increases in the risk of
catastrophic avian mortality events via lethal dehydration or hyperthermia. We quantified the …

During development in fluctuating environments, phenotypes can be adjusted to the
conditions that individuals will probably encounter later in life. As develo** embryos have …

Acoustic communication is central to many social interactions between family members.
Whilst song and begging calls have been extensively studied, in this review I focus on …

Artificial boxes are commonly used in studies of cavity‐dwelling animals of various taxa. One
advantage of nest boxes is that cameras can be used to monitor animals inside the cavity …

Sound is an essential source of information in many taxa and can notably be used by
embryos to programme their phenotypes for postnatal environments. While underlying …

Animals thriving in hot deserts rely on extraordinary adaptations and thermoregulatory
capacities to cope with heat. Uncovering such adaptations, and how they may be favoured …

During development, phenotype can be adaptively modulated by environmental conditions,
sometimes in the long-term. However, with weather variability increasing under climate …

Understanding animal physiological adaptations for tolerating heat, and the causes of inter-
individual variation, is key for predicting climate change impacts on biodiversity. Recently, a …

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, a radical investigation
into the bird way of being, and the recent scientific research that is dramatically shifting our …
