Habitat–performance relationships: finding the right metric at a given spatial scale
The field of habitat ecology has been muddled by imprecise terminology regarding what
constitutes habitat, and how importance is measured through use, selection, avoidance and …

Putting eggs in one basket: ecological and evolutionary hypotheses for variation in oviposition-site choice
Oviposition-site choice is a major maternal effect by which females can affect the survival
and phenotype of their offspring. Across oviparous species, the ultimate reasons for females' …

Climate change will decrease the range size of snake species under negligible protection in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest hotspot
Reptiles are highly susceptible to climate change, responding negatively to thermal and
rainfall alterations mainly in relation to their reproductive processes. Based on that, we …

Adapting to the unpredictable: reproductive biology of vertebrates in the Australian wet–dry tropics
In the wet–dry tropics of northern Australia, temperatures are high and stable year-round but
monsoonal rainfall is highly seasonal and variable both annually and spatially. Many …
