Life histories and ecotype conservation in an adaptive vertebrate: Genetic constitution of piscivorous brown trout covaries with habitat stability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3828
Abstract: Abstract Ecotype variation in species exhibiting different life history strategies may reflect heritable adaptations to optimize reproductive success, and potential for speciation. Traditionally, ecotypes have, however, been defined by morphometrics and life history characteristics, which… read more here.

The contrasting histories of marine and freshwater meiobenthic research – a result of differing life histories and adaptive strategies?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2017.05.008
Abstract: Abstract Although early microscopists first described meiobenthic-sized animals from fresh water, it is widely acknowledged that studies of the ecology of freshwater meiofauna have taken longer to emerge as an independent discipline than those of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01639625.2021.1950516
Abstract: Research into homicides typically focuses on adults offenders, as they represent the majority of cases. There are, however, a number of cases involving individuals under the age of 18 committing murder. To understand homicides, researchers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19404476.2018.1460232
Abstract: This qualitative study focused on the life histories of four female African-American middle level teachers. The findings illuminate how culturally responsive caring can and should be foundational to successful teaching that does not discriminate but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arw130
Abstract: Optimal life-history decisions are shaped by prevailing environmental conditions. In the context of urbanization, environmental differences between urban and rural areas are known to vary across a multitude of axes. The relative roles of specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14467
Abstract: The importance of parental contributions to offspring development and subsequent performance is self‐evident at a genomic level; however, parents can also affect offspring fitness by indirect genetic and environmental routes. The life history strategy that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/nyas.13256
Abstract: Multicellular organisms display an enormous range of life history (LH) strategies and present an evolutionary conundrum; despite strong natural selection, LH traits are characterized by high levels of genetic variation. To understand the evolution of… read more here.

Abstract: A recent critique of Copping, Campbell, and Muncer raised several issues concerning the validity of psychometric assessment techniques in the study of life history (LH) strategies. In this reply, some of our key concerns about… read more here.

Life history optimisation drives latitudinal gradients and responses to global change in marine fishes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS Biology"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002114
Abstract: Within many species, and particularly fish, fecundity does not scale with mass linearly; instead, it scales disproportionately. Disproportionate intraspecific size–reproduction relationships contradict most theories of biological growth and present challenges for the management of biological… read more here.
