This study examines how fine-scale changes in food distribution and social stability affect sociality in wild great tits, finding that resource clustering increases flock size and social centrality.

The paper examines variance partitioning in acoustic traits under sexual selection in gray treefrogs, finding significant among-individual covariance in call duration and rate.

The study examines how the gut microbiota of wild great tits varies with age, environment, and life history traits, finding that nestlings show greater sensitivity to ecological variation than adults.

The paper tests inhibitory control in wild birds using a modified detour task and finds performance is repeatable across time and contexts, suggesting the task measures genuine cognitive differences.

The paper tests if dear enemy recognition affects reproductive success in great tits, finding no benefits or costs associated with the behavior.

This study examines how inhibitory control and personality traits affect foraging plasticity in great tits under different ecological conditions.

The paper examines the relationship between gut microbiome composition, nestling weight, and survival in great tits, finding a time-lagged association between early microbiome diversity and later weight gain.

The study shows that diet affects gut microbiota diversity and problem-solving performance in wild birds, suggesting a link between microbiome changes and behavioral plasticity.

The paper tests cross-contextual consistency of spatial learning and behavioural flexibility in great tits and finds no correlation between different measures of these cognitive traits.
