    Foraging behaviour alters with social environment in a juvenile songbird

    by Dr John Ewen November 26, 2020 0 Comments

    Published in: Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Authors: Victoria R. Franks, John G. Ewen, Mhairi McCready and Rose Thorogood Abstract Early independence from parents is a critical period where social information acquired vertically may become outdated, or conflict with new information. However, across natural populations, it is unclear if newly independent young […]

    Congratulations to Caitlin Andrews on submitting her PHD!! "Foraging for a foothold"

    by Dr John Ewen November 19, 2020 0 Comments

    We are very happy to share that Caitlin has submitted her PHD. This is a truly global PHD effort with a focus on hihi dietary variation. It included field study on multiple hihi populations (Tiritiri Matangi, Rotokare, Bushy Park Tarapuruhi and Zealandia) and even some sites where we hope to see hihi in the future […]

    Consequences of space sharing on individual phenotypes in the New Zealand hihi

    by Dr John Ewen September 1, 2020 0 Comments

    Published in: Evolutionary Ecology Authors: Alexis Rutschmann, Pierre de Villemereuil, Patricia Brekke, John G. Ewen, Neil Anderson and Anna W. Santure Abstract:  In heterogeneous habitats, individuals sharing a larger part of their home-range are also likely to live in a very similar environment. This ‘common environment’ effect can generate phenotypic similarities between neighbours and lead to the […]

    Published in: Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Authors: Laura Duntsch, Barbara M. Tomotani, Pierre de Villemereuil, Patricia Brekke, Kate D. Lee, John G. Ewen and Anna W. Santure Abstract:  To predict if a threatened species can adapt to changing selective pressures, it is crucial to understand the genetic basis of adaptive traits, especially […]

    Changes in social groups across reintroductions and effects on post‐release survival

    by Dr John Ewen July 11, 2020 0 Comments

    Published in: Animal Conservation Authors: Victoria R. Franks, Caitlin E. Andrews, John G. Ewen, Mhairi McCready, Kevin A. Parker and Rose Thorogood Abstract: Reintroductions, essential to many conservation programmes, disrupt both abiotic and social environments. Despite growing recognition that social connections in animals might alter survival (e.g. social transmission of foraging skills, or transmission of […]

    Analysing age structure, residency and relatedness uncovers social network structure in aggregations of young birds

    by Dr John Ewen July 11, 2020 0 Comments

    Published in: Animal Behaviour Authors: Victoria R. Franks, John G. Ewen, Mhairi McCready, J. Marcus Rowcliffe, Donal Smith and Rose Thorogood Abstract: Animal sociality arises from the cumulative effects of both individual social decisions and environmental factors. While juveniles’ social interactions with parents prior to independence shape later life sociality, in most bird and mammal species […]

    Time spent with parents varies with early-life condition, but does not predict survival or sociality of juvenile hihi

    by Victoria Franks September 11, 2019 0 Comments

    Published in: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution Authors: Victoria R. Franks, Mhairi McCready, James L. Savage and Rose Thorogood Abstract: Many young birds die soon after fledging, as they lack the skills to find food and avoid predation. Post-fledging parental care is assumed to assist acquisition of these vital skills. However, we still lack empirical examples […]
