Article
Alex D. Ball, Auteur ; René E. van Dijk, Auteur ; Penn Lloyd, Auteur ; Ákos Pogány, Auteur ; Deborah A. Dawson, Auteur ; Steve Dorus, Auteur ; Rauri C. K. Bowie, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Tamás Székely, AuteurIn most passerine birds, individuals attempt to maximize their fitness by providing parental care while also mating outside their pair bond. A sex-specific trade-off between these two behaviours is predicted to occur, as the fitness benefits of [...]
Article
Simon C. Griffith, Auteur ; Iain Barr, Auteur ; Ben C. Sheldon, Auteur ; Louise V. Rowe, Auteur ; Terry Burke, AuteurA recent study reported the incidence of intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP) in the blue tit, based on differences in pigmentation between eggs within clutches and the appearance of multiple eggs within a nest in a single day. Here we present d[...]
Article
Jim J. Groombridge, Auteur ; Deborah A. Dawson, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Robert Prys-Jones, Auteur ; M. de L. Brooke, Auteur ; Nirmal Shah, AuteurAn important requirement for biologists conserving vulnerable species of wildlife and managing genetic problems associated with small population size is to evaluate existing evidence regarding what is known of a species' recent population histor[...]
Article
Jin-Won Lee, Auteur ; Myun-Sik Kim, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Ben J. Hatchwell, AuteurUnderstanding the factors that affect the occurrence of extrapair paternity (EPP) is one of the central issues in sexual selection. We investigated genetic parentage and the ecological factors affecting patterns of EPP in the vinous-throated par[...]

Kathryn H. Maher, Auteur ; Luke J. Eberhart-Phillips, Auteur ; András Kosztolányi, Auteur ; Natalie Dos Remedios, Auteur ; Maria Cristina Carmona-Isunza, Auteur ; Medardo Cruz-Lopez, Auteur ; Sama Zefania, Auteur ; James J. H. St Clair, Auteur ; Monif AlRashidi, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Martin A. Serrano-Meneses, Auteur ; Oliver Krueger, Auteur ; Joseph I. Hoffman, Auteur ; Tamás Székely, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Clemens Kuepper, AuteurExtra-pair paternity is a common reproductive strategy in many bird species. However, it remains unclear why extra-pair paternity occurs and why it varies among species and populations. Plovers (Charadrius spp.) exhibit considerable variation in[...]
Article
Maria Karlsson, Auteur ; Julia Schroeder, Auteur ; Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Henrik G. Smith, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Helena Westerdahl, AuteurThe MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) plays an important role in the immune system of vertebrates. MHC genes are extremely polymorphic and this variation is considered to be maintained by selection from pathogens. We investigate whether MHC[...]
Article
Simon Tollington, Auteur ; Carl G. Jones, Auteur ; Andrew Greenwood, Auteur ; Vikash Tatayah, Auteur ; Claire Raisin, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Deborah A. Dawson, Auteur ; Jim J. Groombridge, AuteurThreatened populations of birds are often restored after bottleneck events by using reintroduction techniques. Whilst population numbers are often increased by using such measures, the long-term genetic effects of reintroductions and post-releas[...]
Article
Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Terry Burke, AuteurIn many species, females prefer older males as social and genetic mates, and male secondary sexual traits often act as age indictor mechanisms. It has been reported that almost all the extra-pair paternity in one population and recently in anoth[...]
Article
Julia Schroeder, Auteur ; Ian R. Cleasby, Auteur ; Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Nancy Ockendon, Auteur ; Terry Burke, AuteurPassive integrated transponders (PITs) are increasingly used to study behaviour in small passerines. However, to ensure the reliability of such studies, knowledge of long-term fitness consequences of equipping passerines with PITs is crucial. We[...]
Article
Ian R. Cleasby, Auteur ; Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Terry Burke, AuteurWe assessed whether adult House Sparrows Passer domesticus adjusted their provisioning in response to an experimental increase in the nutritional condition of their nestlings. When we supplemented chicks directly with additional food, male paren[...]
Article
Raj Whitlock, Auteur ; J. Philip Grime, Auteur ; Rosemary Booth, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur1. A recent experiment varied the genetic diversity of model grassland communities under standardized soil and management conditions and at constant initial species diversity. After 5 years' growth, genetically diverse communities retained more [...]
Article
Julia Schroeder, Auteur ; Ian Cleasby, Auteur ; Hannah L. Dugdale, Auteur ; Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Terry Burke, AuteurProvisioning behavior in altricial birds is often used to measure parental investment and is assumed to have fitness consequences to the parents providing it, with the benefits outweighing the costs. Here we investigate the fitness costs and ben[...]
Article
Janske van de Crommenacker, Auteur ; Jan Komdeur, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, AuteurP>1. Fluctuations in the quality of the habitat in which an animal lives can have major consequences for its behaviour and physiological state. In poor-quality habitat with low food availability, metabolically intensive foraging activity is like[...]
Article
Alfredo Sanchez-Tojar, Auteur ; Isabel Winney, Auteur ; Antje Girndt, Auteur ; Mirre J. P. Simons, Auteur ; Shinichi Nakagawa, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Julia Schroeder, AuteurFinding a high quality territory is essential for many animals to reproduce successfully. Despite its importance for fitness, we know little about the process of territory prospecting in wild birds, and whether individual traits and behaviours, [...]
