TL;DR: This study documents the phenotypic differentiation over more than two decades in body size at a very short spatial scale within a population of pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca inhabiting deciduous and coniferous habitats.

TL;DR: It seems likely that the increased proximity of functional habitats in the managed area relative to the natural one is underlying the significantly higher abundances of nightjars observed therein, where breeders should travel shorter distances to link together essential resources, thus likely reducing their energy expenditure and mortality risks.

TL;DR: Results showed that recruitment success in the coniferous forest increased non-linearly with body size, with males at the middle of the size range having higher fitness than both large and small-sized males, however, no clear trend was observed in the deciduous forest where males of either size had similar fitness.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that grasshoppers adjust their movement patterns to choose the substrate that confers an apparent improvement in camouflage given their individual-specific colour and suggests that performance-based habitat choice might act as a mechanism of adaptation to changing environments, including human-modified (urban) landscapes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that systematic age bias due to trapping experience can have important implications for the estimation of variation in a range of traits and should therefore be carefully checked in longitudinal studies.
