Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated temperatures reduce discrimination between conspecific and heterospecific sexual signals

TL;DR: These findings provide the first experimental evidence that high temperatures affect female preference for a mating signal in an endotherm, and generate useful predictions for future studies of heat wave effects on mating behaviours in endotherms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mouse-colored Tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina) is a species complex that includes the Cocos Flycatcher (Nesotriccus ridgwayi), an island form that underwent a population bottleneck

TL;DR: Overall, the simultaneous examination of Phaeomyias and Nesotriccus revealed divergent levels of genetic diversity and evolutionary histories between island and mainland forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simulated heat waves reduce cognitive and motor performance of an endotherm

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high air temperatures on cognition and motor performance of zebra finches have been investigated, and it was found that cognitive performance declined at high air temperature in two of three measures: color association was unaffected, but birds missed more food rewards and did more unproductive behaviors.
