Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environmen....

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming embedded across scientific workflows, yet mechanisms for transparently documenting its use remain fragmented and weakly enforced. Focusing o...

The reshuffling of genomic variation from multiple origins is an important contributor to phenotypic diversification, yet insights into the evolutionary trajectories of this combinatorial process and ...

Abstract. Phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) are fundamental tools for understanding trait evolution across species. While linear models are widely us

Meta-analyses are widely used to understand how species and ecosystems respond to global change, but most assume that variability among studies is constant. This assumption can hide important biologi....

Understanding how weather conditions during early development influence reproductive success is essential for predicting avian responses to climate change. We used a 40-year dataset from a nest-box po...

The authors performed phylogenetically controlled behavioural assays and analysed brain transcriptomes across five avian families, identifying convergent patterns of gene expression associated with aggression and nesting behaviour in obligate cavity-nesting birds.

Są miejsca, których opis wymaga wstępu z długą bibliografią. Są też takie, które nie znoszą encyklopedycznej drobiazgowości. O tych drugich opowiada plątaniną przeszłości i dawnych tradycji, codzienne...

We conducted a global meta-analysis using 30 years of coral reef surveys and sea surface temperature records to identify the interaction between coral disease prevalence and rising ocean temperatures...

Nucleotide sequence data are being harnessed to identify species, even in cases in which organisms themselves are neither in hand nor witnessed. Bu...
