Journal ArticleDOI

Direct versus indirect sexual selection: genetic basis of colour, size and recruitment in a wild bird

TL;DR: It is shown that variation in coloration is only weakly heritable, and that two components of offspring fitness—nestling size and fledgling recruitment—are strongly dependent on parental effects, rather than genetic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light‐level geolocators reveal migratory connectivity in European populations of pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca

TL;DR: It is hypothesised that population differences in wintering longitudes of pied flycatchers result from geographical variation in breeding phenology and the timing of fuelling for spring migration at the wintering grounds, as well as the potential ecological factors causing such an unexpected pattern of migratory connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weak effects of geolocators on small birds: A meta-analysis controlled for phylogeny and publication bias.

Vojtěch Brlík, +69 more
TL;DR: A weak effect on apparent survival of tagged birds is found and key aspects and drivers of tagging effects are pinpointed, which encourage further use of geolocators on small bird species but the ethical aspects and scientific benefits should always be considered.
