Journal ArticleDOI
Stress Response and the Value of Reproduction: Are Birds Prudent Parents?
Veronika Bókony,Ádám Z. Lendvai,András Liker,Frédéric Angelier,Frédéric Angelier,John C. Wingfield,Olivier Chastel +6 more
TL;DR: The results support the brood value hypothesis and suggest that the stress response evolves as an adaptive basis for life‐history strategies, as well as suggesting that circulating corticosterone concentrations might be matched to the anticipated demands and risks during nesting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lean birds in the city: body size and condition of house sparrows along the urbanization gradient
TL;DR: It is suggested that habitat differences in nestling development or adaptive divergence of sparrow populations due to distinct environmental conditions (such as differing predation pressure) may account for the differences along the urbanization gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larger groups are more successful in innovative problem solving in house sparrows
András Liker,Veronika Bókony +1 more
TL;DR: The analyses of the birds' behavior suggest that the latter was not explained by either reduced investment in antipredator vigilance or reduced neophobia in large groups, and may contain more diverse individuals with different skills and experiences, which may increase the chance of solving the task by some group members.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality traits and behavioral syndromes in differently urbanized populations of house sparrows (Passer domesticus).
TL;DR: It is suggested that urbanization and/or other population-level habitat differences may not only influence the expression of personality traits but also alter their inter-individual variability and the relationships among them, changing the structure of behavioral syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life history predicts advancement of avian spring migration in response to climate change
TL;DR: The results suggest that avian migration phenology adapts to climate change as a species‐specific response, and that the degree of this response is fundamentally shaped by constraints and selection pressures of the species' life history, and less so by the intensity of sexual selection.
