In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Global expansion of human activities is associated with the introduction of novel stimuli,
such as anthropogenic noise, artificial lights and chemical agents. Progress in documenting …

Variability in the environment defines the structure and dynamics of all living systems, from
organisms to ecosystems. Species have evolved traits and strategies that allow them to …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

A key issue in animal behaviour is the need to understand variation in behavioural
responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) such as habitat loss …

Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide. For many
species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response to altered conditions. In this …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

The evolution of reproductive barriers is the first step in the formation of new species and
can help us understand the diversification of life on Earth. These reproductive barriers often …

Hybridization between naturally co-occurring species that normally do not interbreed is
being documented following anthropogenic habitat modifications for an increasing number …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …
