Margherita Corti, Auteur ; Andrea Romano, Auteur ; Alessandra Costanzo, Auteur ; Alexandra B. Bentz, Auteur ; Kristen J. Navara, Auteur ; Marco Parolini, Auteur ; Nicola Saino, Auteur ; Diego Rubolini, AuteurInter- and intraspecific variation in eggshell colouration has long fascinated evolutionary biologists. Among species, such variation may accomplish different functions, the most obvious of which is camouflage and background matching. Within spe[...]

Margherita Corti, Auteur ; Stefano Podofillini, Auteur ; Matteo Griggio, Auteur ; Luca Gianfranceschi, Auteur ; Anne-Lyse Ducrest, Auteur ; Alexandre Roulin, Auteur ; Jacopo G. Cecere, Auteur ; Nicola Saino, Auteur ; Diego Rubolini, AuteurLesser kestrel males display inter-individual variation in melanin-based plumage traits, like ventral plumage colouration and breast/underwing spottiness. We explored whether such plumage variability was associated with single-nucleotide genetic[...]

Piotr Matyjasiak, Auteur ; Diego Rubolini, Auteur ; Maria Romano, Auteur ; Nicola Saino, AuteurMiniaturized light-level geolocators are becoming increasingly popular devices for the study of avian migration. However, the effects of these devices on birds’ flight behaviour, and hence fitness components, are poorly known. We investigated th[...]

Simone Pirrello, Auteur ; Andrea Pilastro, Auteur ; Diego Rubolini, Auteur ; Jacopo G. Cecere, Auteur ; Andrea Romano, Auteur ; Alessandro Andreotti, Auteur ; Stefano Volponi, Auteur ; Nicola Saino, Auteur ; Matteo Griggio, Auteur ; Lorenzo Serra, AuteurIn animals, events occurring early in life can have profound effects on subsequent life-history events. Early developmental stresses often produce negative long-lasting impacts, although positive effects of mild stressors have also been document[...]
