Potticary A, Belk M, Creighton J, Ito M, Kilner R, Komdeur J, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2024 Aug; 14(8):e70175. PMID: 39170054
Investigating fundamental processes in biology requires the ability to ground broad questions in species-specific natural history. This is particularly true in the study of behavior because an organism's experience of...

Shah S, Rubenstein D
J Anim Ecol . 2024 Aug; 94(3):356-367. PMID: 39104146
Many cooperatively breeding species live in groups with complex structure-large group sizes, low and variable kin structure, and multiple breeding pairs. Since these mixed-kin groups typically form because of immigration...

Keen S, Meliza C, Pilowsky J, Rubenstein D
Front Ecol Evol . 2024 Feb; 4. PMID: 38389994
In most songbirds, both sexes produce calls, or short vocalizations used to coordinate behaviors and maintain social cohesion. In contrast, songs are longer, more elaborate vocalizations typically only produced by...

Siller Wilks S, Heidinger B, Westneat D, Solomon J, Rubenstein D
Mol Ecol . 2024 Feb; 33(6):e17291. PMID: 38343177
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis coordinates an organism's response to environmental stress. The responsiveness and sensitivity of an offspring's stress response may be shaped not only by stressors encountered in their...

Siller Wilks S, Westneat D, Heidinger B, Solomon J, Rubenstein D
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2023 Jun; 341:114336. PMID: 37328040
Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation are important mechanisms for mediating developmental plasticity, where ontogenetic processes and their phenotypic outcomes are shaped by early environments. In particular, changes in DNA...

Chan S, Rubenstein D, Chen I, Fan Y, Tsai H, Zheng Y, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2023 May; 290(1999):20230529. PMID: 37221845
Deforestation is a major contributor to biodiversity loss, yet the impact of forest loss on daily microclimate variability and its implications for species with different daily activity patterns remain poorly...

Lin Y, Chen Y, Rubenstein D, Liu M, Liu M, Shen S
Ecol Lett . 2023 May; 26(7):1145-1156. PMID: 37127410
Although social species as diverse as humans and ants are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, animals cooperate and form groups for many reasons. How these different reasons for...

Halupka L, Arlt D, Tolvanen J, Millon A, Bize P, Adamik P, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 May; 120(19):e2208389120. PMID: 37126701
Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of...

Shah S, Rubenstein D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Apr; 120(18):e2212211120. PMID: 37094171
Although kin selection is assumed to underlie the evolution of sociality, many vertebrates-including nearly half of all cooperatively breeding birds-form groups that also include unrelated individuals. Theory predicts that despite...

Rubenstein D, Solomon J
PLoS One . 2023 Mar; 18(3):e0282672. PMID: 36893162
The increasing interest in studying DNA methylation to understand how traits or diseases develop requires new and flexible approaches for quantifying DNA methylation in a diversity of organisms. In particular,...
