Adaptation to climate driven environments in a Patagonian suboscine passerine

This study examines how climate variables affect nestling development in two Patagonian bird populations, finding that climate impacts hatch weights but not growth rates or pre-fledging weights.

Climatic conditions predict embryonic development in thorn tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda)

This study examines how climatic factors affect embryonic development in thorn-tailed Rayadito birds, finding that northern populations are more vulnerable to climate change than southern ones.

Life-history traits as predictors of expected genetic contributions 15 years later in a cooperatively breeding bird

The paper uses genetic pedigree data from Seychelles warblers to assess how life-history traits predict individual genetic contributions 15 years later, finding that lifetime reproductive success is the strongest predictor.

Sociality shapes the adaptive response of breeders to harsh thermal environments? An experiment in a burying beetle

This study examines how social conditions and temperature affect reproductive success and offspring performance in burying beetles under controlled experimental conditions.
