This article provides a brief historical perspective on the integration of physiology into the concept of the pace of life of birds, evaluates the fit of immune function into this framework, and asks what it will take to fruitfully understa...

Abstract: Why so much variation in extra-pair parentage occurs within and among populations remains unclear. Often the fitness costs and benefits of extra-pair parentage are hypothesised to explain its occurrence; therefo...

Understanding the ways in which individuals cope with threats, respond to challenges, make use of opportunities and mediate the harmful effects of their surroundings is important for predicting their ability to function in a rapidly changin...

Abstract: Thanatosis-also known as death-feigning and, we argue more appropriately, tonic immobility (TI)-is an under-reported but fascinating anti-predator strategy adopted by diverse prey late on in the predation sequen...

Abstract: The visual system is highly variable across species, and such variability is a key factor influencing animal behavior. Variation in the visual system, for instance, can influence the outcome of learning tasks wh...

Abstract: Potential protection from violence has been suggested as an explanation for women's preferences for more masculine partners. Previous studies, however, have not considered that violence may be multi-modal, and h...
Does similarity in call structure or foraging ecology explain interspecific information transfer in wild Myotis bats? [0.03%]
同域分布的(Myotis)鼠类蝙蝠种间信息传播的机制：基于觅食生态位和鸣叫结构的相似性？

Abstract: Animals can gain important information by attending to the signals and cues of other animals in their environment, with acoustic information playing a major role in many taxa. Echolocation call sequences of bats...
The use of the nest for parental roosting and thermal consequences of the nest for nestlings and parents [0.03%]
巢穴的利用及其对雏鸟和亲鸟的影响

Abstract: At temperate latitudes, altricial birds and their nestlings need to handle night temperatures well below thermoneutrality during the breeding season. Thus, energy costs of thermoregulation might constrain nestli...
Vocal foragers and silent crowds: context-dependent vocal variation in Northeast Atlantic long-finned pilot whales [0.03%]
歌声觅食者与沉默的群体：东北大西洋长吻飞旋鲸中依赖情境变化的发声行为

Abstract: Vocalisations form a key component of the social interactions and foraging behaviour of toothed whales. We investigated changes in calling and echolocation behaviour of long-finned pilot whales between foraging ...
Consequences of grouped data for testing for departure from circular uniformity [0.03%]
分组数据对检验圆周均匀性的后果的影响

Rosalind K Humphreys
Limits to the precision of circular data often cause grouping of data points into discrete categories, but the effects of grouping on tests for circular uniformity have been little explored. The Rayleigh test is often applied to grouped cir...
