The paper examines how local density and ecological factors influence complete brood failure in two sympatric songbirds, finding species-specific density dependence patterns.

The paper uses network analysis of 37 years of social association data in Soay sheep to show that social connections affect survival, with the importance of quantity versus quality depending on overwinter weather conditions.

This study examines how parasitism, density, and resource availability interact to affect survival and fecundity in wild red deer across their lifespan.

This study shows resource supplementation affects parasite infection dynamics and host behavior in wild wood mice, with mixed effects across 12 parasite taxa.

This study investigates parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in red deer, finding three pathways linking inbreeding to reduced fitness through parasitism.

The paper uses machine learning to screen museum tissues for novel coronaviruses and paramyxoviruses, recovering sequences from archived samples and identifying new host species.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper examines how local and global density affect parasite infection in wild sheep, finding distinct effects depending on age and parasite type.

This study shows that higher host population density increases parasite counts through both greater exposure and reduced resource availability in red deer.

The paper tests the social buffering hypothesis across 66 animal species, finding social species have lower demographic sensitivity to environmental variability, especially in unpredictable climates.

The study examines how different types of social bonds in wild great tits affect reproductive success, finding varying impacts on clutch size, fledgling numbers, and laying dates.
