• Attraction of other species by Bluethroat Luscinia svecica song playback during autumn migration: an experimental test using bird-ringing data 

  de la Hera, Iván; Fontanilles, Philippe; Delalande, Lucas; Glad, Anouk; Sarraude, Tom (Spanish Society of Ornithology/BirdLife, 2016-10)

  Song playback of a particular avian species is well-known to have the potential to bias the sample of conspecifics that can be captured during mist-netting sessions, with respect to sex, age or body condition. However, the ...
• Breeding for robustness: Investigating the genotype-by-environment interaction and micro-environmental sensitivity of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) 

  Agha, S.; Mekkawy, W.; Ibanez-Escriche, N.; Lind, C. E.; Kumar, J.; Mandal, A.; Benzie, John A. H.; Doeschl-Wilson, A. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)

  Robustness has become a highly desirable breeding goal in the globalized agricultural market. Both genotype‐by‐environment interaction (G × E) and micro‐environmental sensitivity are important robustness components of ...
• Video evidence of siblicide and cannibalism, movement of nestlings by adults, and interactions with predators in nesting Hen Harriers 

  Fernández-Bellon, Darío; Wilson, Mark W.; Irwin, Sandra; Kelly, Thomas C.; O'Mahony, Barry; O'Halloran, John (Raptor Research Foundation, 2018-09)

  During a nest-camera study of Hen Harriers (Circus cyaneus), we recorded siblicide, cannibalism, movement of nestlings by adult birds, and interactions with predators. We deployed cameras at 13 nests across three study ...
• Competition between Lemna minuta, Lemna minor, and Azolla filiculoides. Growing fast or being steadfast? 

  Paolacci, Simona; Jansen, Marcel A. K.; Harrison, Simon (Frontiers Media, 2018)

  A substantial number of Lemnaceae are invasive outside their natural distribution area. Lemna minuta is considered invasive in several European countries, where it can occur in the same habitat as invasive Azolla filiculoides ...
• The locomotor system of the ocean sunfish Mola mola (L.): role of gelatinous exoskeleton, horizontal septum, muscles and tendons 

  Davenport, John; Phillips, Natasha D.; Cotter, Elizabeth; Eagling, Lawrence E.; Houghton, Jonathan D. R. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2018-06-21)

  Adult ocean sunfish are the heaviest living teleosts. They have no axial musculature or caudal fin. Propulsion is by unpaired dorsal and anal fins; a pseudocaudal fin (‘clavus’) acts as a rudder. Despite common perception, ...
