Trait‐based approaches are key to understanding eco‐evolutionary processes but rarely account for animal behaviour despite its central role in ecosystem dynamics. We propose integrating behaviour into trait‐based ecology through movement traits—standardised and comparable measures of animal movement derived from biologging data, such as daily displacements or range sizes. Accounting for animal behaviour will advance trait‐base...

Impact of Z chromosome inversions on gene expression in testis and liver tissues in the zebra finchNARA Subscribed
Chromosomal inversions have been identified in many natural populations and can be responsible for novel traits and rapid adaptation. In zebra finch, a large region on the Z chromosome has been subject to multiple inversions, which have pleiotropic effects on multiple traits but especially on sperm phenotypes, such as midpiece and flagellum length. To understand the effect, the Z inversion has on these traits, we examined test...
Achieving conservation outcomes in plant mitigation translocations: the need for global standardsNARA Subscribed
Many countries have legislation intended to limit or offset the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and development on threatened plants. Translocations are often integral to those mitigation policies. When translocation is used exclusively to mitigate development impacts, it is often termed a ‘mitigation translocation.’ However, both the terminology and processes vary regarding interpretation and application, resulting in inc...
Ninety-five years of observed disturbance-based tree mortality modeled with climate-sensitive accelerated failure time modelsNARA Subscribed
Modeling disturbance-based tree mortality is becoming increasingly important in the discussion of how to adapt forests to climate change and to preserve their ecosystem services and mitigate the risk of economic losses. In this study, we fitted species-specific interval-censored Accelerated Failure Time models for five major tree species to derive the influence of climate, soil, silvicultural measures, stand and tree character...
Vascular plant‐mediated controls on atmospheric carbon assimilation and peat carbon decomposition under climate changeNARA Subscribed
Climate change can alter peatland plant community composition by promoting the growth of vascular plants. How such vegetation change affects peatland carbon dynamics remains, however, unclear. In order to assess the effect of vegetation change on carbon uptake and release, we performed a vascular plant‐removal experiment in two Sphagnum ‐dominated peatlands that represent contrasting stages of natural vegetation succession alo...
Signatures of diversifying selection and convergence acting on passerine Toll‐like receptor 4 in an evolutionary contextNARA Subscribed
Positive selection acting on Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) has been recently investigated to reveal evolutionary mechanisms of host–pathogen molecular co‐adaptation. Much of this research, however, has focused mainly on the identification of sites predicted to be under positive selection, bringing little insight into the functional differences and similarities among species and a limited understanding of convergent evolution in t...
Genome‐wide differentiation in closely related populations: the roles of selection and geographic isolationNARA Subscribed
Population divergence in geographic isolation is due to a combination of factors. Natural and sexual selection may be important in shaping patterns of population differentiation, a pattern referred to as ‘isolation by adaptation’ ( IBA ). IBA can be complementary to the well‐known pattern of ‘isolation by distance’ ( IBD ), in which the divergence of closely related populations (via any evolutionary process) is associated with...
