This study shows city and forest great tits differ genetically in their behavioral response to artificial light at night, but not in their circadian clock properties.

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of 226 effect sizes from 80 studies to examine how host personality traits relate to parasitic infection, finding that experimental infections reduce activity and exploration, while observational studies show activity-exploration correlates with infection risk.

This paper develops an individual-based decision tool to assess biodiversity offence gravity by incorporating harm, remediation, and plural nature value criteria, identifying key challenges in its design.

The paper quantifies spatial synchrony in great tit age structure across 32 populations and identifies drivers like clutch size, temperature, and beech crops, showing synchrony maintained up to 650km.
