In Europe, woodland bird populations have been declining since at least the 1970s, and in Britain, around one third of woodland bird species have undergone declines over this period. Habitat change has been highlighted as a possible cause, but for so... Read More about Habitat correlates of Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola abundance in a declining resident population.

A genetics-based approach confirms immune associations with life history across multiple populations of an aquatic vertebrate (Gasterosteus aculeatus) (2018)

Understanding how wild immune variation covaries with other traits can reveal how costs and trade?offs shape immune evolution in the wild. Divergent life history strategies may increase or alleviate immune costs, helping shape immune variation in a c...
