DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2744
Abstract: Abstract For avian group living to be evolutionary stable, multiple fitness benefits are expected. Yet, the difficulty of tracking fledglings, and thus estimating their survival rates, limits our knowledge on how such benefits may manifest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3925
Abstract: Nest-sharer avian brood parasites do not evict or otherwise kill host chicks, but instead inflict a range of negative effects on their nestmates, which are mediated by interactions between the parasites' and hosts' life history… 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.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2019-0109
Abstract: Post-fledging use of early successional habitat by mature-forest birds is well-documented, but the important trophic factors driving this association remain poorly understood. We used stable isotop... read more here.
