recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Crop Science"

DOI: 10.1002/csc2.21338

Abstract: The perennial crop intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] has been under development as a grain crop since 2011 at the University of Minnesota (UMN). Breeding efforts have targeted larger seed… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11665

Abstract: Abstract During spring, migratory birds are required to optimally balance energetic costs of migration across heterogeneous landscapes and weather conditions to survive and reproduce successfully. Therefore, an individual's migratory performance may influence reproductive outcomes. Given… read more here.

Cooperative breeding shapes post‐fledging survival in an Afrotropical forest bird

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2744

Abstract: Abstract For avian group living to be evolutionary stable, multiple fitness benefits are expected. Yet, the difficulty of tracking fledglings, and thus estimating their survival rates, limits our knowledge on how such benefits may manifest… read more here.

Marked reduction in demographic rates and reduced fitness advantage for early breeding is not linked to reduced thermal matching of breeding time

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3603

Abstract: Abstract Warmer springs may cause animals to become mistimed if advances of spring timing, including available resources and of timing of breeding occur at different speed. We used thermal sums (cumulative sum of degree days)… read more here.

Making use of multiple surveys: Estimating breeding probability using a multievent‐robust design capture–recapture model

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4828

Abstract: Abstract Increased environmental stochasticity due to climate change will intensify temporal variance in the life‐history traits, and especially breeding probabilities, of long‐lived iteroparous species. These changes may decrease individual fitness and population viability and is… read more here.

Seasonal changes in invertebrate diet of breeding black‐necked cranes (Grus nigricollis)

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70234

Abstract: Abstract Invertebrates greatly support the growth, development, and reproduction of insectivorous birds. However, the influence of human activity (e.g., pesticide use, deforestation, and urbanization) inevitably leads to a decrease in global arthropods. The diversity and… read more here.

Increased Breeding Frequency Mitigates Inbreeding Depression in Peromyscus in Captivity

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71728

Abstract: ABSTRACT Increased parental relatedness occurs in small wild populations and in closed colonies in captivity and reduces offspring fitness. A closed colony of Peromyscus maniculatus is maintained as genetically diverse stock at the Peromyscus Genetic… read more here.

A case of cooperative breeding in the European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8318

Abstract: Abstract Cooperative breeding, where individuals other than the parents help to raise offspring, occurs in only ~9% of bird species. Although many starlings (Sturnidae) are cooperative breeders, the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) has rarely been… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9209

Abstract: Abstract Migratory species have geographically separate distributions during their annual cycle, and these areas can vary between populations and individuals. This can lead to differential stress levels being experienced across a species range. Gathering information… read more here.

Earlier and more frequent occupation of breeding sites during the non‐breeding season increases breeding success in a colonial seabird

Sign Up to like & get
recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9213

Abstract: Abstract Competition for high‐quality breeding sites in colonial species is often intense, such that individuals may invest considerable time in site occupancy even outside the breeding season. The site defense hypothesis predicts that high‐quality sites… read more here.

No seasonal curtailment of the Eurasian Skylark's (Alauda arvensis) breeding season in German heterogeneous farmland

Sign Up to like & get
recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9267

Abstract: Abstract The lack of suitable nesting sites is one key driver behind the farmland bird crisis in Europe. Winter cereals become impenetrable for ground‐breeding birds like the Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis), curtailing breeding time. Stable… read more here.
