Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

The origin, distribution, and function of biological diversity are fundamental themes of
ecology and evolutionary biology. Research on birds has played a major role in the history …

Species' geographic ranges are limited by climate and species interactions. Climate is the
prevailing explanation for why species live only within narrow elevational ranges in …

We explore how integrating behavioural ecology and macroecology can provide
fundamental new insight into both fields, with particular relevance for understanding …

Insights into animal behaviour play an increasingly central role in species-focused
conservation practice. However, progress towards incorporating behaviour into regional or …

The idea that species interactions are more ecologically and evolutionarily important toward
lower latitudes underpins seminal theories in ecology and evolution. Recent global studies …

Globally, birds have been shown to respond to climate change by shifting their elevational
distributions. This phenomenon is especially prevalent in the tropics, where elevational …

Geographic turnover in community composition is created and maintained by eco-
evolutionary forces that limit the ranges of species. One such force may be antagonistic …

Costly interactions between species that arise as a by-product of ancestral similarities in
communication signals are expected to persist only under specific evolutionary …

Animals can adjust their diet to maximize energy or nutritional intake. For example, birds
often target fruits that match their beak size because those fruits can be consumed more …
