Sex-biased dispersal is an almost ubiquitous feature of mammalian life history, but the evolutionary causes behind these patterns still require much clarification. A quarter of a century since the publication of seminal papers describing general patt... Read More about Advances in our understanding of mammalian sex-biased dispersal.

Timing divergence events allow us to infer the conditions under which biodiversity has evolved and gain important insights into the mechanisms driving evolution. Cichlid fishes are a model system for studying speciation and adaptive radiation, yet, w... Read More about Age of cichlids: New dates for ancient lake fish radiations.

We have constructed a database that describes the sleeping characteristics of 127 different mammalian species representing 46 families across 17 orders. The data were extracted from 178 separate references that were found using standardized search pr... Read More about The phylogeny of sleep database : a new resource for sleep scientists.

Benefits to 0+fishes of connecting man-made waterbodies to the lower River Trent, England (2007)
Journal Article

Floodplain waterbodies are reputed to enhance recruitment of riverine fish populations via provision of spawning and nursery habitat, refuge from floods, and increased availability of planktonic food resources compared with main river channels. Notwi... Read More about Benefits to 0+fishes of connecting man-made waterbodies to the lower River Trent, England.

Many fish species are zooplanktivorous at the onset of exogenous feeding, but distinct shifts in their foraging biology may occur with development. This study investigated the food and feeding relationships of the larvae and 0+ year juveniles of 13 f...
