Nest traits for the world's birds

The paper introduces a global database of bird nest traits and explores correlations between nest characteristics and environmental variables.

Anthropogenic nest material use correlates with human landscape modifications in a global sample of birds

The paper investigates global correlates of anthropogenic nest material use in birds, finding it correlates with human landscape modification and nesting environment, but not body mass or conservation status.

Convergent evolution of elaborate nests as structural defences in birds

The paper investigates the evolutionary advantage of complex nest structures in birds, finding that elaborate designs reduce offspring mortality from predation.

The evolutionary origins of primate scleral coloration

This paper tests three hypotheses about primate scleral coloration evolution by linking scleral pigmentation to social behaviors across 15 and 108 primate species.

Ecology, phylogeny, and the evolution of developmental duration in birds

This study investigates the factors influencing developmental duration in birds using phylogenetic and ecological data, finding that body size, ecology, and evolutionary history explain most of the variation.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the evolution of brain structure in primates

The paper tests hypotheses about brain evolution in primates by analyzing correlations between brain structure, maternal investment, and life history traits.
