This study compares environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with hand-sorting to evaluate earthworm biodiversity recovery in regenerative agriculture, finding eDNA more effective in detecting anecic species and quantifying richness.

The paper examines how social associations affect annual and lifetime fitness in birds, finding short-term benefits but long-term stabilizing selection on sociality.

The paper examines how indirect genetic effects (IGEs) influence heritability estimates of extra-pair behavior in house sparrows, finding improved model fit and reduced uncertainty when IGEs are included.

This study uses meta-analysis to show that reproductive effort and survival trade-offs are not consistently supported within species, as quality differences mask costs, and reproduction has negligible costs except at extreme effort levels.

This study compares short-term fitness proxies in wild birds to predict long-term reproductive values, finding that recruit-stage metrics provide the best predictions.

This study shows that house sparrows exhibit similar mortality senescence in wild and captive settings, but lower frailty in captivity, suggesting species-specific ageing rates insensitive to environment.

The paper identifies the genetic basis of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in Gouldian finches and finds evidence for balancing selection maintaining the polymorphism.

This study tests whether male sparrows can recognize their own chicks through a cross-foster experiment and finds no evidence of kin recognition affecting parental care.

The paper challenges the status signalling hypothesis using meta-analysis, finding no support for dominance rank being linked to bib size in house sparrows and identifying publication bias.

The study finds that older male house sparrows sire more extra-pair offspring, but their mating behavior and female solicitation are not age-related.
