The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and
community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

Natural selection should favor females that avoid ovipositing where risk of predation is high
for their progeny. Despite the large consequences of such oviposition behavior for individual …

The role of habitat selection behaviour in the assembly of natural communities is an
increasingly important theme in ecology. At the same time, ecologists and conservation …

The ability of females to assess habitat quality for offspring can strongly influence individual
reproductive success as well as population dynamics and community assembly. However …

Distribution and abundance patterns at the community and metacommunity scale can result
from two distinct mechanisms. Random dispersal followed by non-random, site-specific …

Abstract In the United States, the regulatory approach to wetland protection has a traditional
focus on size as a primary criterion, with large wetlands gaining significantly more …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects over 20% of the earth's surface and is estimated to
increase 6% per year. Most studies of ALAN have focused on a single mechanism or life …

Abstract Changes in the nature of the ecological resources exploited by a species can lead
to the evolution of novel suites of behaviours. We identified a case in which the transition …
