The blog has covered a wide range of topics over several years, from the future of harness racing, to some of the amazing individual old time horses and families that have had such an influence on our breeding, to the potential of yearlings at the sales, to assessments of new sires on ...
they exhibit intra- and interspecific variation in several behavioural, ecological, demographic and life history traits16,45, making them an excellent model system for addressing mate choice decisions. Second, plovers are globally distributed, breeding on all continents except Antarctica, providing an...
Historical literature on other Australian bent-winged bats suggest that the cold season may be associated with highest mortality, particularly if individuals are unable to accumulate sufficient fat stores prior to winter32,33. We therefore predicted that apparent survival rates would be lowest in ...
The breeding phenology, territory size, egg dimensions, clutch size, nestling growth and reproductive success of a dense population of Wheatears Oenanthe oenanthe was studied on the island of land, S. Sweden during the years 1985鈥 1987. The 1987 season was exceptionally cold and rainy, 1986 ...

The Green-backed Tit (Parus monticolus) is a small forest passerine distributed from the west Himalayans to south central Vietnam and Taiwan Island of China. To date, several studies have been conducted on this species (e.g., Ye et al. 2019). However, not much information is available ...
