Journal Article
Olivé-Muñiz, M., Pagani-Núñez, E., Kretzmann, M., & Carlos Senar, J. (online). Did you learn what to eat from your parents? A test of the early learning of the foraging niche hypothesis in great tits Parus major. Journal of Avian Biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jav.03335

A growing number of studies suggest that individuals can develop long-term foraging specializations independently of phenotypic or environmental variation, yet little is known about how the foraging niche is acquired. The early learning of the foragi... Read More about Did you learn what to eat from your parents? A test of the early learning of the foraging niche hypothesis in great tits Parus major.

Aim: Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have often relied on prey models, which lack many characteristics o...

Ecology Letters, 27(3), Article e14412. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.14412

Agricultural intensification not only increases food production but also drives widespread biodiversity decline. Increasing landscape heterogeneity has been suggested to increase biodiversity across habitats, while increasing crop heterogeneity may s...

The impacts of host traits on parasite infection of montane birds in southwestern China (2024)
Journal Article
Zhan, X., Huang, X., Pagani-Núñez, E., Tang, Q., Ho, H., Zhou, W., Liu, Y., & Liang, D. (2024). The impacts of host traits on parasite infection of montane birds in southwestern China. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 12, Article 1305305. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2024.1305305

Parasitic infections have the potential to impact the hosts’ body condition, elevate physiological responses, and ultimately lead to increased mortality. Host-parasite interactions are tied to the ecological and life-history traits of the hosts. Whil...
