DOI: 10.1111/eth.12915
Abstract: Many species approach predators to harass them and drive them away. Both the intensity of this antipredator strategy and its success are positively related to the size of the group that carries out this mobbing.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13334
Abstract: Identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in rapid adaptation to novel environments and determining their predictability are central questions in evolutionary biology and pressing issues due to rapid global changes. Complementary to genetic responses to selection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jav.00999
Abstract: In birds, parental escorting of dependent young to feeding areas outside the breeding territory is a commonly observed, yet poorly documented phenomenon. Using radio‐tracking, we provide a detailed description of the post‐fledging movements of 12… read more here.

Great Tit (Parus major) Uropygial Gland Microbiomes and Their Potential Defensive Roles
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01735
Abstract: The uropygial gland (preen gland) of birds plays an important role in maintaining feather integrity and hygiene. Although a few studies have demonstrated potential defensive roles of bacteria residing within these glands, the diversity and… read more here.
