This study quantifies genomic inbreeding depression across 20 wild vertebrate populations, finding significant negative fitness effects and no link to conservation status or isolation.

This study examines inbreeding depression in Seychelles warblers after a population bottleneck, finding a polygenic load reduces lifespan and offspring production by 17.9% and 15.1% per 10% inbreeding increase.

The paper develops a genomic toolkit for Seychelles warblers, enabling genetic pedigree assignment and correcting sample identity errors using high-quality genomic data.

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.

This study investigates the genetic and environmental influences on body temperature during endothermy development in house sparrows using cross-fostered individuals.

The paper uses path analysis on Seychelles warbler data to examine factors influencing delayed offspring dispersal, finding territory quality and helper presence significantly affect dispersal decisions.

The paper examines genetic and phenotypic correlations between survival and fecundity in house sparrows using long-term breeding data and multivariate animal models, finding no evidence of a trade-off.

YOLOv8 detection with SORT event grouping and grid-search tuning quantifies visually distinct behaviours from video across 5 case studies, reaching f1-scores of 0.62 to 0.94.
