The role of life history traits in mammalian invasion success (2015)
Journal Article
Capellini, I., Baker, J., Allen, W., Street, S., & Venditti, C. (2015). The role of life history traits in mammalian invasion success. Ecology Letters, 18(10), 1099-1107. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.12493

Why some organisms become invasive when introduced into novel regions while others fail to even establish is a fundamental question in ecology. Barriers to success are expected to filter species at each stage along the invasion pathway. No study to d... Read More about The role of life history traits in mammalian invasion success.

The coevolution of building nests on the ground and domed nests in Timaliidae (2015)
Journal Article
Hall, Z., Street, S., Auty, S., & Healy, S. (2015). The coevolution of building nests on the ground and domed nests in Timaliidae. Ornithology, 132(3), 584-593. https://doi.org/10.1642/auk-15-23.1

Despite the accumulation of structural descriptions of bird nests and considerable diversity in these structures across species, we know little about why birds build the nests that they do. Here we used phylogenetic comparative analyses to test one s... Read More about The coevolution of building nests on the ground and domed nests in Timaliidae.

Experimental evidence for the co-evolution of hominin tool-making teaching and language (2015)
Journal Article
Morgan, T., Uomini, N., Rendell, L., Chouinard-Thuly, L., Street, S., Lewis, H., …Laland, K. (2015). Experimental evidence for the co-evolution of hominin tool-making teaching and language. Nature Communications, 6, Article 6029. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms7029

Hominin reliance on Oldowan stone tools—which appear from 2.5 mya and are believed to have been socially transmitted—has been hypothesized to have led to the evolution of teaching and language. Here we present an experiment investigating the efficacy... Read More about Experimental evidence for the co-evolution of hominin tool-making teaching and language.
