Journal ArticleDOI

Passerine birds breeding under chronic noise experience reduced fitness.

TL;DR: Using a cross-fostering set-up, the results demonstrate that birds breeding in a noisy environment experience significant fitness costs, suggesting a previously undescribed mechanism to explain how environmental noise can reduce fitness in passerine birds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fewer invited talks by women in evolutionary biology symposia

TL;DR: Women were under‐represented among invited speakers at symposia (15% women) compared to all presenters, regular oral presenters (41%) and plenary speakers (25%).
Journal ArticleDOI

A practical guide for inferring reliable dominance hierarchies and estimating their uncertainty

TL;DR: It is found that the ratio of interactions to individuals required to infer reliable hierarchies is surprisingly low, but depends on the steepness of the hierarchy and the method used, and two easy procedures to measure uncertainty and steepness in the inferred hierarchy are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced fitness in progeny from old parents in a natural population

TL;DR: It is shown that parental age has sex-specific negative effects on lifetime fitness, using data from a pedigreed insular population of wild house sparrows, and this effect is unlikely to be the result of changes in the environment but that it potentially is epigenetically inherited.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are extra-pair males different from cuckolded males? A case study and a meta-analytic examination

TL;DR: Whether a female's extra‐pair mates differed from her cuckolded mate in both genetic and phenotypic traits by analysing data from an insular house sparrow population is investigated, and it is found that extra‐ Pair males were older than cuckolding males, consistent with both models.
