This study examines the effects of capture-handling-restraint on wild great tits, finding short-term stress responses but no impact on reproductive success.

The paper examines how variation in beech seed abundance affects yolk fatty acid composition in great tits, finding significant differences in PUFA profiles between years of high and low seed availability.

The paper identifies convergent and lineage-specific genomic changes in sugar-feeding birds through genome and transcriptome analyses, revealing adaptive mechanisms in metabolic pathways.

The paper examines how external structures at the nest site influence nest asymmetry in mud-building birds, finding that nests built near lateral structures are more likely to have entrances aligned with those structures.

This study reviews and analyzes 57 studies on egg hormones in wild birds, finding near-zero overall effects on maternal and offspring fitness but high heterogeneity.
