DOI: 10.1007/s004420100678
Abstract: We studied ecological and evolutionary aspects of habitat choice in a group of closely related bird species to gain insight into factors influencing bird community structure. Seven species of Phylloscopus warblers breed sympatrically in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2021.0468
Abstract: Habitat choice can either speed up or slow rates of phenotypic evolution, depending on which trait is measured. We suggest that habitat choice plays an analogous, and generally overlooked, role in shaping patterns of phenotypic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.05885
Abstract: Dispersal is a key trait responsible for the spread of individuals and genes among local populations, thereby generating eco-evolutionary interactions. Especially in heterogeneous metapopulations, a tight coupling between dispersal, population dynamics and the evolution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.06932
Abstract: Matching habitat choice is a habitat preference mechanism based on self-assessment of local performance, such that individuals settle in the habitats that are best suited to their phenotypes, promoting local adaptation. Despite the important evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.2981/wlb.00204
Abstract: Anthropogenic changes to the landscape such as fertilization and mowing schemes have been correlated with goslings obtaining a higher weight gain during the first weeks of their life, which in turn increases breeding success and… read more here.
