Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient

Viktoriia Radchuk, +68 more
- 23 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis focussing on birds suggests that global warming has not systematically affected morphological traits, but has advanced phenological traits and indicates that the evolutionary load imposed by incomplete adaptive responses to ongoing climate change may already be threatening the persistence of species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salvage Logging Versus the Use of Burnt Wood as a Nurse Object to Promote Post‐Fire Tree Seedling Establishment

Jorge Castro, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that branches left onsite acted as nurse objects that improved key microclimatic conditions for seedling recruitment in moisture-deficient ecosystems, which creates a facilitative interaction ideal for seedlings establishment in moist ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-utility conserved avian microsatellite markers enable parentage and population studies across a wide range of species.

Deborah A. Dawson, +18 more
- 15 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: This new set of conserved markers will not only reduce the necessity and expense of microsatellite isolation for a wide range of genetic studies, including avian parentage and population analyses, but will also now enable comparisons of genetic diversity among different species (and populations) at the same set of loci, with no or reduced bias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the Effects of Climate on Host-Parasite Interactions: A Comparative Study of European Birds and Their Parasites

Anders Pape Møller, +36 more
- 31 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: Climate change is associated with a general increase in parasite abundance and clutch size, brood size and body condition were associated with change in parasitism, suggesting that parasites, perhaps mediated through the indirect effects of temperature, may affect fecundity and condition of their hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cuckoo hosts shift from accepting to rejecting parasitic eggs across their lifetime

Mercedes Molina-Morales, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that ontogeny plays a fundamental role in the process leading to egg rejection in magpies, with females tested in their first breeding attempt always accepted the model egg, even those individuals whose mothers were egg rejecters.
