Presence of mammalian predators decreases tolerance to human disturbance in a breeding shorebird
Nonlethal disturbance can impose fitness costs, particularly during sensitive life history stages such as reproduction. Prey animals are thus expected to assess the costs and benefits of expressing… Expand

Does the impact of biodiversity differ between emerging and endemic pathogens? The need to separate the concepts of hazard and risk
Biodiversity is of critical value to human societies, but recent evidence that biodiversity may mitigate infectious-disease risk has sparked controversy among researchers. The majority of work on… Expand

Chick growth rates in Charadriiformes: comparative analyses of breeding climate, development mode and parental care
The rate at which a young bird grows is highly diverse across taxa. We investigated the influences of ecological variables on growth rates of shorebirds, gulls and their allies (order… Expand

Metacommunity and phylogenetic structure determine wildlife and zoonotic infectious disease patterns in time and space
The potential for disease transmission at the interface of wildlife, domestic animals and humans has become a major concern for public health and conservation biology. Research in this subject is… Expand

Parental cooperation in a changing climate: fluctuating environments predict shifts in care division
Aim: Parental care improves the survival of offspring and therefore has a major impact on reproductive success. It is increasingly recognized that coordinated biparental care is necessary to ensure… Expand
