DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2446-1
Abstract: Early life ecological conditions have well-documented short-term effects on offspring phenotype and survival, but the extent to which these effect carry-over into adulthood is much less known. Yet, unveiling such carry-over effects is essential to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.05.010
Abstract: The evolution of sibling competition is promoted when the brood's demand for resources (brood size) exceeds the parents' supply of resources (resource availability). However, little is known about the joint effects of brood size and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.02.173
Abstract: Deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin) is one of the most widely distributed trichothecene mycotoxins commonly found in cereal food and feeds. Significant acute and potential chronic toxic effects of DON have been observed in animals and human… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoac025
Abstract: Abstract Anthropogenic stressors can favor the occurrence of noninfectious disease that can be worsened by the impact of opportunistic pathogens, making the epizootiology of environmental diseases difficult to unravel. The incidence and impact of oral… read more here.

The global macroecology of brood size in amphibians reveals a predisposition of low‐fecundity species to extinction

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13287
Abstract: Aim. The diversity of brood size across animal species exceeds the diversity of most other life history traits. In some environments, reproductive success increases with brood size, while in others it increases with smaller broods.… read more here.
