DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1660
Abstract: PREMISE Across taxa, vegetative and floral traits that vary along a fast-slow life-history axis are often correlated with leaf functional traits arrayed along the leaf economics spectrum, suggesting a constrained set of adaptive trait combinations.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1840
Abstract: PREMISE We investigated sex-specific differences in the life-history traits of a metapopulation of the dioicous moss Weissia jamaicensis. Field observations revealed high rates of fertilization, which is uncommon for most dioicous bryophytes. We raised four… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23639
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Previous research has established population variation in anti-inflammatory immunological biomarkers in human milk. This immunity is potentially ecology-dependent and may alter the life history trade-off between growth and maintenance in infants. The current study… read more here.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES Male height and health affect a diverse range of social and economic outcomes such as competition for resources and mates. Life history theory predicts that limited availability of bioenergetic resources curbs the development of… read more here.

Early life‐history adaptation influences conservation approaches for facultatively amphidromous fish

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3077
Abstract: Early life history is widely recognized as the stage of fish life history where mortality is the highest. Incorrect adaptation of early life‐history characteristics to environmental conditions will result in high larval mortality and therefore… read more here.

Effects of class-specific, synthetic, and natural proteinase inhibitors on life-history traits of the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Archives of insect biochemistry and physiology"
DOI: 10.1002/arch.21647
Abstract: Herbivorous insects have more difficulty obtaining proteins from their food than do predators and parasites. The scarcity of proteins in their diet requires herbivores to feed voraciously, thus heavily damaging their host plants. Plants respond… read more here.

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.

Abstract: Abstract A fundamental goal of evolutionary ecology is to identify the sources underlying trait variation on which selection can act. Phenotypic variation will be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, and adaptive phenotypic plasticity… read more here.
