Correlates of individual variation in the porphyrin-based fluorescence of red-necked nightjars (Caprimulgus ruficollis)
Camacho, Carlos; Negro, Juan José; Redondo, Iraida; Palacios, Sebastián; Sáez Gómez, Pedro
(Nature Research, 2019-12)
Many nocturnal animals, including invertebrates such as scorpions and a variety of vertebrate species, including toadlets, flying squirrels, owls, and nightjars, emit bright fluorescence under ultraviolet light. However, ... -
High frequency of social polygyny reveals little costs for females in a songbird
(Springer, 2022-01)Mating system theory predicts that social polygyny—when one male forms pair bonds with two females—may evolve by female choice in species with biparental care. Females will accept a polygynous male if the beneft of mating ... -
Human-induced changes in landscape configuration influence individual movement routines : lessons from a versatile, highly mobile species
Camacho, Carlos; Palacios, Sebastián; Sáez Gómez, Pedro; Sánchez, Sonia; Potti, Jaime (Public Library of Science, 2014)
Landscape conversion by humans may have detrimental effects on animal populations inhabiting managed ecosystems, but human-altered areas may also provide suitable environments for tolerant species. We investigated the ... -
Landscape change promotes population differentiation at a small geographic scale
Sáez Gómez, Pedro; Camacho, Carlos; Palacios, Sebastián; Sánchez, Sonia; Molina, Carlos; Ruiz Ramos, Javier; Potti, Jaime (2016)
Landscape change can expose individuals to rapidly changing conditions, and thus may accelerate phenotypic divergence among populations. However, the spatial scale at which phenotypic change can occur remains poorly ... -
Nightjars, rabbits, and foxes interact on unpaved roads: spatial use of a secondary prey in a shared-predator system
Camacho, Carlos; Sáez Gómez, Pedro; Potti, Jaime; Fedriani, José María (Ecological Society of America, 2017)
Linear developments, such as roads and firebreaks, can increase encounter rates between predator and prey, which could affect predator-prey interactions and community dynamics. However, the extent to which prey responses ... -
Phenology-mediated effects of phenotype on the probability of social polygyny and its fitness consequences in a migratory passerine
(BMC, 2021-04)Why females engage in social polygyny remains an unresolved question in species where the resources provided by males maximize female fitness. In these systems, the ability of males to access several females, as well as ... -
Plastic habitat choice in response to landscape change: a multi-scale approach
Increasing land-use intensification in recent decades has led to the loss and subdivision of large pristine areas, which generally affects species' presence and abundance. However, not every species responds equally to ... -
Reclutamiento juvenil, dispersión natal e inicio de la reproducción en el chotacabras cuellirrojo (Caprimulgus ruficollis)
Sáez Gómez, Pedro; Camacho, Carlos; Palacios, Sebastián; Molina, Carlos; Ruiz Ramos, Javier; Potti, Jaime (2014)
El reclutamiento juvenil, la distancia de dispersión natal y el inicio de la reproducción en especies de vida larga son parámetros muy influyentes en la evolución de las estrategias de vida. Una correcta estimación de los ... -
The road to opportunities : landscape change promotes body-size divergence in a highly mobile species
Camacho, Carlos; Sáez Gómez, Pedro; Sánchez, Sonia; Palacios, Sebastián; Molina, Carlos; Potti, Jaime (Oxford University Press, 2016)
Landscape change provides a suitable framework for investigating population-level responses to novel ecological pressures. However, relatively little attention has been paid to examine the potential influence of landscape ...
