Wild‐caught rodents retain a majority of their natural gut microbiota upon entrance into captivity
Experiments conducted on captive animals allow scientists to control many variables;
however, these settings are highly unnatural. Previous research has documented a large …

Repeatability and degree of territorial aggression differs among urban and rural great tits (Parus major)
Animals in urban habitats face many novel selection pressures such as increased human
population densities and human disturbance. This is predicted to favour bolder and more …
