Featured blog: What makes a successful species?

Mareike Petersen and Mark-Oliver Rödel discuss their new research examining what life-history factors enable some amphibian species to thrive in tropical forests heavily altered by human activity, where so many other species will struggle.

Martins Briedis

During the extremely cold European spring of 2015, semi-collared flycatchers delayed their return migration to breeding grounds from their African wintering grounds compared to 2014’s extremely warm spring.
