Holding a territory is often crucial in order to acquire key resources, including mating partners. However, few studies have investigated the role of animal personality in the context of territorial conflicts and how the contest outcome itself may in

An experimental test of changed personality in butterflies from anthropogenic landscapes

During the last century, the human footprint on natural ecosystems has increased strongly and human-altered habitats such as urban and agricultural areas have extended globally. Despite their negative impacts on biodiversity, these habitats offer uni

Climate alteration is one of the most cited ecological consequences of urbanization. However, the magnitude of this impact is likely to vary with spatial scale. We investigated how this alteration affects the biological fitness of insects, which are

In angiosperms, a decrease in fruit production towards the apex of individual inflorescences is usually observed. Orchids are thought to be primarily pollination-limited species, and non-uniform pollination could cause this decrease pattern in severa

Body size is intrinsically linked to metabolic rate and life-history traits, and is a crucial determinant of food webs and community dynamics 1,2. The increased temperatures associated with the urban-heat-island effect result in increased metabolic c
