Migrating juvenile birds rely on endogenous information in choosing the direction in which to fly, but such input may be overridden by social interactions with experienced individuals. We tagged seven juvenile Short-toed Eagles Circaetus gallicu[...]

A common pattern in tropical avifaunas is for closely related species to inhabit largely parapatric elevational distributions such that they replace one another along the elevational gradient. A long-standing hypothesis for this pattern is that [...]

Many marine birds undertake long migrations between breeding and wintering areas, including some species that undertake long-distance east–west or west–east movements across many degrees of longitude. To date, however, no east–west migrations ha[...]

Endothermic animals resident in hot, arid terrestrial environments are likely to face a trade-off between their ability to obtain water and elevated thermoregulatory water requirements. We assessed whether daily water flux (DWF) is higher on hot[...]

Life history theory predicts that individuals should maximize lifetime reproductive success (LRS) by breeding as soon as they reach sexual maturity, yet many species delay breeding, either because there are insufficient available mates or breedi[...]
