Everyone likes things that are bad for them sometimes –including birds. When an animal makes choices that are harmful for it, by reducing their lifespan, reproductive success, etc., this is known as an ‘evolutionary trap.’ If birds prefer to build their nests in non-native plants but these nests are less successful, they’ve fallen into such a trap, and researchers recently set out to determine whether this is the case for Veeries nesting in invasive shrubs.
