Abstract: Delayed dispersal is a key step in the evolution of familial animal societies and cooperative breeding. However, no consensus has been reached on the ecological and social circumstances driving delayed dispersal. Here, we test predictions… read more here.

DOI: 10.2166/hydro.2025.072
Abstract: Hydropower's critical role in stabilizing grids with high variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration is counterbalanced by ecological risks. Discharge fluctuations from hydropower peaking operations – driven by wind and solar intermittency, imposing physiological stress on… read more here.
