Anthropogenic noise affects vocalisation properties of the territorial song of Western Australian magpies

G. Blackburn, M. Dutour, B. J. Ashton, A. Thornton, A. R. Ridley

This study examines how female Western Australian magpies adjust their territorial song in response to anthropogenic noise, finding changes in rate and peak frequency but not amplitude or duration.

General cognitive performance declines with female age and is negatively related to fledging success in a wild bird

C. Soravia, B. J. Ashton, A. Thornton, A. R. Ridley

The study finds that general cognitive performance in wild southern pied babblers declines with female age and is negatively linked to fledging success.

Hot days are associated with short-term adrenocortical responses in a Southern African arid-zone passerine bird.

L. L. Moagi, A. R. Bourne, S. J. Cunningham, R. Jansen, C. A. Ngcamphalala, A. R. Ridley, A. E. McKechnie

This study links high daily temperatures to increased stress hormone levels in Southern pied babblers, indicating acute heat stress responses above 38°C.

Direct and indirect effects of high temperatures on fledging success in a cooperatively breeding bird

A. R. Bourne, A. R. Ridley, C. N. Spottiswoode, S. J. Cunningham

This study examines how high temperatures affect fledging success in Southern Pied Babblers, finding direct negative impacts on nestlings and limited compensation from adult provisioning.

Dehydration risk, not ambient incubation, limits nest attendance at high temperatures

A. R. Bourne, A. R. Ridley, A. E. Mckechnie, C. N. Spottiswoode, S. J. Cunningham

This study shows that high temperatures force pied babblers to leave nests to avoid dehydration, not because they benefit from ambient incubation.

Hot droughts compromise interannual survival across all group sizes in a cooperatively breeding bird

A. R. Bourne, S. J. Cunningham, C. N. Spottiswoode, A. R. Ridley

The study examines how hot droughts affect interannual survival in southern pied babblers, finding similar negative impacts across all group sizes.

High temperatures drive offspring mortality in a cooperatively breeding bird

A. R. Bourne, S. J. Cunningham, C. N. Spottiswoode, A. R. Ridley

The study examines how high temperatures affect offspring survival in southern pied babblers, finding that extreme heat reduces survival across all developmental stages and that group size does not mitigate these effects.
