    Cognitive simplicity drives collective route improvements in homing pigeons

    Shoubhik Chandan Banerjee, Fritz A Francisco, Albert B Kao
    A navigational model exploring social learning strategies differing in cognitive complexity in homing pigeons shows that simple averaging sufficiently explains collective route improvements, without requiring cumulative cultural evolution.

    Developmental constraints mediate the reversal of temperature effects on the autumn phenology of European beech after the summer solstice

    Dominic Rebindaine, Thomas W Crowther ... Constantin M Zohner
    Faster early-season development, especially under nighttime warming, advances the point at which the autumn phenology of European beech becomes responsive to late-summer cooling.
