DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10058
Abstract: Abstract Life history trade‐offs are ubiquitous across species and place constraints on the timing of life history events, including the optimal age at first reproduction. However, studies on lifetime breeding success of male mammals are… read more here.

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

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.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9327
Abstract: Abstract Knowledge of the temporal variation in reproductive success and its key driving factors is crucial in predicting animal population persistence. Few studies have examined the effects of a range of explanatory factors operating simultaneously… read more here.

Migration phenology and breeding success are predicted by methylation of a photoperiodic gene in the barn swallow

DOI: 10.1038/srep45412
Abstract: Individuals often considerably differ in the timing of their life-cycle events, with major consequences for individual fitness, and, ultimately, for population dynamics. Phenological variation can arise from genetic effects but also from epigenetic modifications in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eth.12704
Abstract: Editor: T. Tregenza Abstract Throughout the animal kingdom, individual variation in reproductive success is commonly observed, even under similar environmental conditions. However, the mechanisms behind such differences remain unclear. The notion of behavioural consistency in… read more here.

Hissing females of great tits ( Parus major ) have lower breeding success than non‐hissing individuals

DOI: 10.1111/eth.12952
Abstract: Antipredator strategies vary remarkably between individuals within populations. Parents tend to take greater risks when brood value is increased. Moreover, individuals consistently differ in a whole suite of correlated behaviours that may cause distinctive responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12498
Abstract: An influential period in avian life-cycles is the annual breeding season, when competition over suitable nesting-sites and territories is a key factor that can determine fitness and distribution, especially for highly species that are highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jav.02108
Abstract: While numerous studies have reported negative effects of urbanisation on birds, few have examined the role of urban scale in influencing breeding success. Furthermore, many studies have relied on qualitative rather than quantitative assessments of… read more here.
