| Circadian flight schedules in night-migrating birds caught on migration |
|
Internal clocks tell night-migrating birds when to fly. Many migratory birds travel alone in a series of nocturnal flights. A new study shows that an internal time-keeping system ensures that migrants remain on schedule. European redstarts that were captured during their return migration from Africa behaved like clockwork in continuously illuminated flight chambers offering all-day-round feeding opportunities.

|
In this paper we use guppies to show that differences in the level of relatedness between singly-sired broods (which are always full siblings) and multiply-sired broods (which can comprise either full- or half-siblings) can have important consequences for offspring social behaviour.

| First fossil gravid turtle provides insight into the evolution of reproductive traits in turtles |
|
This study reports on the first fossil turtle with eggs preserved within the body cavity, as well as on one of the few known North American fossil turtle nests. These fossils belong to an extinct turtle called Adocus, and were found in 75 million year old rocks in Alberta, Canada. The specimens reveal that Adocus built its nests near rivers and laid large clutches of thick-shelled, hard, spherical eggs. (Source: Veterinary News From Medical News Today)
