Tracking physiological state in wild animals, however, is challenging. Predominant techniques rely on capture and invasive procedures, restricting research to trappable species and individuals. Additionally, natural behaviours are interrupted, results may be affected by surgery or carrying apparatus, and welfare constraints restrict repeated sampling. Also, the leading non-invasive alternative – faecal sampling – cannot detect rapid physiological changes. Thermal imaging offers an increasingly popular option for studying physiological state in homeothermic endotherms (birds and mammals). The method resolves many of the above concerns and can infer both fast and slow underlying physiological changes from body surface temperature dynamics. Nonetheless, the generalisability of results across settings and populations remains unclear because systematic synthesis is lacking. Correspondingly, important knowledge gaps may be currently overlooked for the same reason. To address these deficits, we performed a systematic review of research linking endotherm body surface temperatures and the four main physiological functions expected to influence surface temperatures – thermoregulation, metabolism, stress and immune responses. We combined outcomes into consensus profiles to ascertain whether responses are generalisable. We also evaluated article publication metrics, study subjects, and methods to characterise research trends and identify approaches most likely to drive progress. Consensus profiling suggested thermoregulatory, metabolic and acute stress (up to 3 min from stressor onset) body surface temperature responses are likely to be broadly generalisable. By contrast, body surface temperature dynamics during immune activation likely depend on discrete ranges of environmental conditions. However, the reviewed literature demonstrates that we still lack sufficient understanding of the mechanistic processes connecting body surface temperatures with underlying physiology. Therefore, further development of methods for inferring physiology from body surface temperatures in natural environments will require combinations of detailed laboratory validations and confirmatory field studies. Such research would also benefit from greater rigour than is evident in the currently available literature, in terms of routinely validating physiological challenges, avoiding use of stress-inducing methods, analysing life-history stage and sex differences, investigating effects of both challenge increase and decrease, and assessing responses across all possible thermoregulatory states. Assuming these knowledge gaps can be filled and technical challenges overcome, inferring physiology in the wild using thermal imaging will present a host of valuable eco-evolutionary research opportunities ","PeriodicalId":133,"journal":{"name":"Biological Reviews","volume":"101 1","pages":"336-363"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/brv.70085","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145211143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group-forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical cancer in that the cancer stem cells generate other cancer cells deprived of tumorigenicity. As such, I introduce concepts of germinating reproducers and sterile workers widely applicable to those systems. In particular, exploitative replication is suggested as an efficient strategy for maintaining the cooperation of fraternal cooperative organisations accompanied by asymmetric replication/reproduction. From this point of view, the defectors that spontaneously appear in metazoan multicellular organisms, eusocial colonies, and cancer clusters are cancers, egg-laying workers, and hypertumours, respectively. In a way similar to the policing observed in eusociality and metazoan multicellularity, I propose the hypothesis that the lactate-producing Warburg effect of cancer cells could represent a policing mechanism against hypertumours. Specifically, the Warburg effect establishes an acidified microenvironment that can repress growth of defector hypertumours by restricting diffusion of cancer growth factors. Considering the altruistic nature of the Warburg effect and metabolic plasticity, the possibility of hypertumours performing oxidative phosphorylation is discussed. This structural analogy not only highlights the role of asymmetric replication/reproduction in highly cooperative systems, but also provides a novel perspective on the social interactions of cancer cells, potentially laying foundations for clinical strategies aimed at disrupting cancer cooperation.</p>","PeriodicalId":133,"journal":{"name":"Biological Reviews","volume":"101 1","pages":"400-418"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/brv.70087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145197593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that mechanisms that occur within the brain during sleep may help maintain optimal cognitive performance, here we outline the potential impacts of hybridization on sleep and cognition. We suggest that sleep loss caused by hybridization could lead to negative impacts for neural and molecular mechanisms (e.g. neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and brain gene expression) associated with cognition, which may help explain some of the cognitive deficiency recently observed in hybrid birds. However, we acknowledge that these mechanisms may instead be directly impacted by hybridization, which in turn could also disrupt sleep with similar negative consequences for cognition.

Past reviews have advanced our knowledge of the post-fledging period by focusing on a particular topic or taxon but have yet to describe patterns of survival and behaviour across the entire post-fledging literature. Here we review research on the post-fledging ecology of birds across taxa to (<i>i</i>) synthesize emergent patterns, (<i>ii</i>) highlight critical knowledge gaps, and (<i>iii</i>) identify promising future frontiers in research. Our review revealed a general dichotomy in the post-fledging literature, with studies on altricial and precocial birds using different terminology and rarely citing one another. Consequently, we compared the post-fledging ecology of altricial and precocial birds while synthesizing patterns and knowledge gaps in the literature. We showed that altricial and precocial birds share many similarities in their post-fledging behaviour, movement, habitat use, parental care, and survival, despite key differences in their ontogenies (e.g. development in the egg and nestling period length). In particular, altricial and precocial birds showed similar trends in fledgling survival with age (positive association), exhibit similarities in selecting post-fledging habitat (often selecting for denser, more complex vegetation that provides cover), and in movement strategies (moving less at younger age to avoid predator detection). Differences were also apparent, with altricial and precocial birds differing in key traits that carry over from the nesting stage to influence fledgling survival (e.g. mass <i>versus</i> wing development). Nevertheless, differences in descriptions of the post-fledging period have, in part, resulted in studies on altricial and precocial birds being disconnected in the literature, highlighting a need for a unifying, standardized terminology for the period after birds leave the nest. Comparative studies and meta-analyses across the altricial–precocial spectrum are also needed to bridge the two worlds. The post-fledging field has grown steadily over the past few decades, but this life-history stage remains understudied for nearly 90% of avian taxa and important frontiers remain largely unexplored: understudied geographical regions and taxa, brood parasites, ecophysiology, impacts of urbanization and climate-induced environmental change, and impacts of technology used to study this period.
