We studied House Sparrows, a human commensal with biparental care.

📍 Tropical South India (continuous breeding system)
🏡 Rural (n=98 nests; natural foraging)
🏙️ Urban (n=85 nests; supplemented food)

We quantified multiple parental behaviours across populations.

The Extreme Breeding Ecology of Cliff-nesting Swifts Cliff-nesting swifts defy gravity—and ecological convention. This article explores how these aerial specialists adapted to breed in some of the planet’s most inhospitable vertical landscapes.

They nest on vertical cliffs, raise chicks in darkness, and even breed behind waterfalls. Discover the astonishing breeding strategies of swifts:
