Incubation is an energetically costly parental task of breeding birds. Incubating parents respond to environmental variation and nest-site features to adjust the balance between the time spent incubating (i.e. nest ...

Squat lobsters frequently inhabit low-oxygen waters, facing particular physiological challenges. Pleuroncodes monodon inhabits one of the most extreme oxygen minimum zones in the world’s oceans at low temperatures, but ...

Exploitation of the environment by building a tunnel network is one of the stages involved in the foraging behaviour of subterranean termites, and it may be influenced by several factors, such as temperature, soil, drought, ...

Understanding the foraging behaviour of seabirds and its plasticity is vital to establish their role in marine food webs and their use as indicators of change in the availability of prey. The foraging behaviour of penguins ...

Reptile embryos respond to temperature changes with metabolic and physiological adjustments that influence hatchling success, phenotype, behaviour, and growth rate. Climate change and global warming can affect the reptile ...

We analysed the temporal occurrence (day–night) and timing of nest predation events during incubation for six common passerine species breeding in austral Chaco, a temperate South American habitat. We recorded time of ...

Amphibian reproductive modes (RMs) have been extensively described and applied to amphibian biology stud-ies. However, due to new behavioural observations and past system inconsistencies we found it necessary to review the ...
