DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5467
Abstract: Abstract When facing a predator, animals need to perform an appropriate antipredator behavior such as escaping or mobbing to prevent predation. Many bird species exhibit distinct mobbing behaviors and vocalizations once a predator has been… read more here.

The effect of nest temperature on growth and survival in juvenile Great Tits Parus major

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7565
Abstract: Abstract For birds, maintaining an optimal nest temperature is critical for early‐life growth and development. Temperatures deviating from this optimum can affect nestling growth and fledging success with potential consequences on survival and lifetime reproductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-02969-7
Abstract: Numerical competence—the ability to represent, discriminate, and process numerical quantity information—is a widespread cognitive ability in animals that influences survival and reproductive success. Little is known about the role of numerical competence during predator mobbing—when… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-019-01301-1
Abstract: When they detect a predator, many species emit anti-predator vocalizations. In some cases, they emit mobbing calls, which are associated with the caller approaching and harassing the predator while attracting others to join it. Surprisingly,… 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/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.

The Genomics of Circadian Timing in a Wild Bird, the Great Tit (Parus major)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00152
Abstract: Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous among taxa and are essential for coping with recurrent daily events, leading to selection on the properties of the clock underlying these rhythms. To quantify this selection in the wild, we… read more here.
