Size, not color, drives assortative mating and influences fledging survival, weight and immunity in a polymorphic owl by Deseada Parejo, Erick González-Medina, Ángel Cruz-Miralles, Jesús Miguel Avilés

“…While color-based assortative mating had no direct impact on any of the fitness proxies studied, greyer pairs exhibited higher feeding rates to offspring than browner pairs. These results underscore the importance of simultaneously considering traits that may covary with color and shape mating patterns to understand the persistence of color polymorphisms in nature.…”

Hard forest edges act as conduits, not filters, for bats by Matina C. Kalcounis‐Rueppell, Kim M. Briones, Jessica A. Homyack, Radmila Petric, Matthew M. Marshall, Darren A. Miller

“…Across edges and species sampled, bats consistently flew parallel to edges, suggesting that edges act as conduits for bats. Feeding rates of bats at edges were low, further supporting use of edges as conduits for bats that are either flying along edges to move to and from roosting and foraging habitat patches or moving among foraging patches. …”
