TL;DR: Great variation among these species, including increasing, constant, decreasing, humped and bowed trajectories for both long- and short-lived species, challenges theoreticians to develop broader perspectives on the evolution of ageing and empiricists to study the demography of more species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune activity elevates energy expenditure of house sparrows: a link between direct and indirect costs?
TL;DR: It is suggested that immune activity in wild passerines increases energy expenditure, which in turn may influence important life–history characteristics such as clutch size, timing of breeding or the scheduling of moult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow pace of life in tropical sedentary birds: a common-garden experiment on four stonechat populations from different latitudes
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that even in birds kept from early life under common-garden conditions, the ‘pace of life’, as indicated by metabolic turnover, is lower in sedentary tropical than in north-temperate migratory individuals of the same species.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Emerging Role of Zoos to Conserve Biodiversity
TL;DR: In situ conservation actions will need to be combined with ex situ approaches, such as captive breeding in zoos, aquariums, and so on, to reduce pressures on the planet's biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The compadre Plant Matrix Database version 3.0 is introduced, an open‐source online repository containing 468 studies from 598 species world‐wide, with a total of 5621 matrices, a similarly data‐rich and ecologically relevant resource for plant demography.
