Following the discoveries of telomeres and of their implications in terms of health and
ageing, there has been a growing interest into the study of telomere dynamics in wild …

During range expansions, organisms are often exposed to multiple pressures, including
novel enemies (ie, predators, competitors and/or parasites) and unfamiliar or limited …

Individuals often vary markedly in their ability to cope with stressors, but the drivers of this
variation remain poorly understood. Many studies have tested relationships among …

Spatial and temporal fluctuations in resource availability have led to the evolution of varied
migration patterns. In order to appropriately time movements in relation to resources …

Climate change is causing rapid shifts in temperature while also increasing the frequency,
duration, and intensity of extreme weather. In the northern hemisphere, the spring of 2013 …

Ecogeographic rules describe spatial patterns in biological trait variation and shed light on
the drivers of such variation. In animals, a consensus is emerging that 'pioneering'traits may …

Incorporating physiology into models of population dynamics will improve our understanding
of how and why invasions succeed and cause ecological impacts, whereas others fail or …

For wild free-living animals the availability of food resources can be greatly affected by
environmental perturbations such as weather events. In response to environmental …

Individuals at the forefront of a range shift are likely to exhibit phenotypic traits that
distinguish them from the population breeding within the historic range. Recent studies have …

In the context of global change, the physiological and hormonal stress responses have
received much attention because of their implications in terms of allostasis. However, most …
