Abstract
Nestling tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) panting at the nestbox entrance hole during an experimental heat challenge that mimicked heat we expect with climate change. Nestlings responded to heat by changing both behavior and physiology. They were resilient to this short heat challenge, with some evidence that exposure to milder heat was beneficial in the long-term (Credit: Mary Woodruff).
The authors behind this month’s cover photo (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.14704) evaluated the behavioural and physiological responses of tree swallows by elevating nest during a critical period of post-natal development temperatures to mimic a future climate scenario. Their results shed light on oft-ignored elements of thermotolerance in wild birds at a critical stage of post-natal development. By highlighting the scope of heat-induced HSP gene expression and coupling it with a suite of organismal traits, they provide a framework for future testing of the mechanisms that shape species success in the face of change.
期刊介绍：
Functional Ecology publishes high-impact papers that enable a mechanistic understanding of ecological pattern and process from the organismic to the ecosystem scale. Because of the multifaceted nature of this challenge, papers can be based on a wide range of approaches. Thus, manuscripts may vary from physiological, genetics, life-history, and behavioural perspectives for organismal studies to community and biogeochemical studies when the goal is to understand ecosystem and larger scale ecological phenomena. We believe that the diverse nature of our journal is a strength, not a weakness, and we are open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies that we publish. Certain key areas will continue to be emphasized: studies that integrate genomics with ecology, studies that examine how key aspects of physiology (e.g., stress) impact the ecology of animals and plants, or vice versa, and how evolution shapes interactions among function and ecological traits. Ecology has increasingly moved towards the realization that organismal traits and activities are vital for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem processes, particularly in response to the rapid global changes occurring in earth’s environment, and Functional Ecology aims to publish such integrative papers.
