Animal behaviour can lead to varying levels of risk, and an individual's physical condition
can alter the potential costs and benefits of undertaking risky behaviours. How risk‐taking …

Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

Pharmaceuticals are increasingly being detected in aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
Particularly concerning are pharmaceutical pollutants that can adversely impact exposed …

Dispersal represents a key life-history trait with several implications for the fitness of
organisms, population dynamics and resilience, local adaptation, meta-population …

A key challenge in invasion biology is identifying characteristics that allow some species to
be repeatedly successful at invading novel environments. Invasions can often be …

Background Flight performance and dispersal behaviour can differ between sexes, resulting
in sex-biased dispersal. The primary sex ratio of populations may also explain dispersal bias …

Vessel hull-fouling is responsible for most bioinvasion events in the marine environment, yet
it lacks regulation in most countries. Although experts advocate a preventative approach …

Sex differences in the prevalence, course and severity of infection are widespread, yet the
evolutionary consequences of these differences remain unclear. Understanding how male …

Many conspicuous forms of evolutionary diversity occur within species. Two prominent
examples include evolutionary divergence between populations differentially adapted to …

Sex‐biased dispersal (SBD) often skews the local sex ratio in a population. This can result in
a shortage of mates for individuals of the less‐dispersive sex. Such mate limitation can lead …
