Journal ArticleDOI
Food availability affects adult survival as well as breeding success of parasitic jaegers
TL;DR: It is suggested that the consequences of poor food availability are shared between offspring and parents in this species, and adult return rate is more sensitive to food availability than has been assumed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tritrophic phenological match-mismatch in space and time.

TL;DR: Latitudinal invariance in the direction of mismatch may act as a double-edged sword that presents no opportunities for spatial buffering from the effects of mismatch on population size, but generates spatially consistent directional selection on timing, which could facilitate rapid evolutionary change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative evidence for a positive association between divorce and extra-pair paternity in birds
Frank Cézilly,Ruedi G. Nager +1 more
TL;DR: High rates of divorce are positively associated with high rates of extra-pair paternity in socially monogamous species of birds, even when controlling for survival rate as a potentially confounding variable, constituting the first comparative evidence for a relation between divorce and adultery in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis indicates that oxidative stress is both a constraint on and a cost of growth.
TL;DR: Findings that OS can act as a constraint on growth support theoretical links between OS and animal life histories and provide evidence for a growth–self‐maintenance trade‐off.
