  • Parent-embryo acoustic communication : a specialised heat vocalisation allowing embryonic eavesdropping 
    Mariette, Mylene M.; Pessato, Anais; Buttemer, William A.; McKechnie, Andrew E.; Udino, Eve; Collins, Rodney N.; Meillere, Alizee; Bennett, Andrew T.D.; Buchanan, Katherine L. (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-12-07)
    Sound is arguably the external cue most accessible to embryos of many species, and as such may constitute an unrivalled source of early information. Recent evidence shows that prenatal sounds, similarly to maternal ...
  • Thermal acclimatisation to heatwave conditions is rapid but sex-specific in wild zebra finches 
    Pessato, Anais; Udino, Eve; McKechnie, Andrew E.; Bennett, Andrew T.D.; Mariette, Mylene M. (Nature Reseach, 2023-10)
    Under climate change, increasing air temperature average and variability pose substantial thermal challenges to animals. While plasticity in thermoregulatory traits could potentially attenuate this impact, whether thermal ...
