According to classic models of lineage diversification and adaptive radiation, phenotypic evolution should accelerate in the context of ecological opportunity and slow down when niches become saturated. However, only weak support for these ideas has... Read More about Limited ecological opportunity influences the tempo of morphological evolution in birds.

Unfamiliarity generates costly aggression in interspecific avian dominance hierarchies (2024)
Journal Article
Leighton, G. M., Drury, J. P., Small, J., & Miller, E. T. (2024). Unfamiliarity generates costly aggression in interspecific avian dominance hierarchies. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 335. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-44613-0

Dominance hierarchies often form between species, especially at common feeding locations. Yet, relative to work focused on the factors that maintain stable dominance hierarchies within species, large-scale analyses of interspecific dominance hierarch...
