Nat Ecol Evol . 2025 Feb; PMID: 40000808
In many animal species, cognitive abilities are under strong natural selection because decisions about foraging, habitat choice and predator avoidance affect fecundity and survival. But how has sexual selection, which...

Biol Lett . 2025 Feb; 21(2):20240418. PMID: 39999891
Most mammals, including humans, exhibit even or slightly male-biased birth sex ratios (BSRs) and female-biased adult sex ratios (ASRs) much later in life due to higher male mortality rates. The...

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes . 2025 Feb; 11(1):29. PMID: 39953051
Wild animals face numerous challenges in less ideal habitats, including the lack of food as well as changes in diet. Understanding how the gut microbiomes of wild animals adapt to...

Horm Behav . 2024 Dec; 167():105669. PMID: 39637764
Intraspecific competition with fellow group members represents an unavoidable cost of group living. However, the causes of competition can vary among group members, and ecological and reproductive challenges faced by...
